Performance Breakdown Giants & Phillies
Philadelphia Offensive & Defensive Execution
Philadelphia’s lineup produced constant pressure, posting a .405 team batting average and 1.080 OPS. Their approach was aggressive yet disciplined, striking out only nine times across 48 plate appearances.
I noticed their timing looked locked in from the middle innings onward. Once the Phillies found rhythm, every at-bat felt dangerous, especially with runners in scoring position (6-for-17).
San Francisco Struggles on Both Sides
San Francisco never found offensive rhythm, finishing with a .133 team average and .321 OPS. They failed to record a single extra-base hit and went 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position, showing how rarely they threatened.
Defensively, three errors compounded the issue. Watching live, their body language dipped after the fourth inning homer, and the game quickly slipped away.

Philadelphia’s depth amplified the blowout. Johan Rojas entered as a pinch runner and scored twice while adding a hit. Edmundo Sosa produced an RBI in limited action, showing the roster’s situational strength. Even role players executed cleanly, reinforcing why this game resembled a complete roster performance rather than a star-only showcase.

- Runs: 0
- Hits: 2
- Runs Batted In: 0

- Walks: 0
- Strikeouts: 0
- Batting Average: .269

Ramos displayed patience and solid bat control, avoiding strikeouts and making consistent contact. However, without runners advancing or follow-up hits, his single remained an isolated highlight rather than a rally starter.

- Runs Batted In: 0
- Walks: 0
- Strikeouts: 0

- Runs Batted In: 0
- Walks: 1
- Strikeouts: 0
- Batting Average: .271

Schmitt’s value came from patience rather than power. His walk showed good zone awareness, but the lineup’s inability to string hits together meant his on-base opportunity never developed into offensive momentum.
5. Jung Hoo Lee
Stats Overview:
- At Bats: 2
- Runs: 0
- Hits: 0
- Runs Batted In: 0
- Walks: 1
- Strikeouts: 1
- Batting Average: .245
- OPS: .705
Performance Insight:
Lee demonstrated discipline with a walk and competitive at-bats. Yet Philadelphia’s pitching mix kept him off balance, preventing him from generating the type of contact that could spark a comeback attempt.
San Francisco Giants Bench Role
The Giants’ bench had minimal offensive impact. Patrick Bailey and Dominic Smith both went hitless in short appearances, and no substitute produced a rally. The lack of pinch-hit success reflected the broader issue — limited offensive pressure across the roster.

Turning Points That Defined the Game
The decisive shift came in the 4th inning homer that opened scoring momentum. From that moment, Philadelphia’s dugout energy surged while San Francisco’s tempo slowed noticeably.
The real knockout blow arrived in the 8th inning seven-run burst. That stretch transformed a comfortable lead into a statement victory and effectively ended any comeback possibility.
Advanced Match Insights & Tactical Notes
Philadelphia’s approach centered on situational hitting and pressure offense. They produced two-out RBIs and sacrifice flies, proving they executed small-ball tactics alongside power hitting.
San Francisco’s main issue wasn’t just hitting — it was sequencing. Even when they reached base, follow-up contact never came. This explains their five runners left on base despite only four hits.
