The Giants find themselves in an odd situation this week. There are no must-win games in August, but when you're trying to hang on in the MLB playoff race and a team that's 30-95 is in the other dugout, well, you pretty much must win.
Harrison allowed one run over six innings, and the lineup finally broke through in the fifth against White Sox righty Jonathan Cannon. Chicago cut a four-run deficit in half in the eighth, but Jordan Hicks came on an inning later and picked up his first save as a Giant.
While hovering around .500 most of the season, the Giants have been wholly unable to grab momentum, but this week presents as good an opportunity as any. The Braves are set for three against the first-place Philadelphia Phillies, while the Giants have two more games against a White Sox team that is 3-25 in the second half.
Harrison cruised through the first two innings, but a double, walk and bunt single loaded the bases with no outs in the third. He found a way out of the jam despite the top of the order coming up.
