"Bob Melvin's ballclub wasn't able to generate much offense against a pitcher who had only one victory in his previous 13 starts. The Giants left six runners on the bases, three in scoring position, continuing a frustrating trend that has plagued the team all season and is a primary factor in why San Francisco has been unable to make a serious run at the MLB playoffs."
"Despite Michael Conforto's home run and contributions from Yastrzemski and Fitzgerald, the Giants fell 6 1/2 games behind the Braves for the third NL wild-card spot, with only 25 games remaining in the regular season."
"Miami got to San Francisco's bullpen after Mason Black, making his first MLB start in over three months, was removed. Cabrera's fastball was clocking in the high 90s early, and he rode the heater for 5 1/3 innings."
"The Giants fell behind early when Griffin Conine crushed a 1-2 pitch from Black into McCovey Cove. The two-run blast was the first of the rookie's career after he made his major league debut earlier in the week."
