The Padres are one win away from claiming the series against the Giants in their four-game set. After leading for most of the game yesterday, the Giants inexplicably surrendered the lead to the Friars in the dying embers of the game.
Heliot Ramos smashed a two-run homer in the third inning of Game 2 to start the scoring for the Giants. However, Manny Machado answered back in the top of the 9th frame with a two-run single. As the game went to extras, Jake Cronenworth gave the visitors the lead with a go-ahead RBI-single in the 10th, as the game would end at 3-2.
Game 3 would be a tough task for the Giants as their batting lineup will face Nick Pivetta. The 32-year-old has a 6-2 record, 2.74 ERA, and 71 strikeouts across 11 games.
