Giants lose to Padres in 10 innings for 2nd night in a row
Manny Machado had four hits, including a two-run single that tied the score with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jake Cronenworth drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th as the San Diego Padres rallied past the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Tuesday night. One day after winning the series opener 1-0 in 10 innings, the Padres needed extras again. Giants closer Camilo Doval walked Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Arraez with two outs in the ninth to load the bases for Machado, who finished 4 for 4. San Francisco Giants' Camilo Doval reacts to giving up game-tying 2-run single to San Diego Padres' Manny Machado in 9th inning during MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco on June 3, 2025. Scott Strazzante/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images Spencer Bivens (1-2) retired the first two batters in the 10th before Cronenworth hit a grounder past diving first baseman Casey Schmitt to score automatic runner Jackson Merrill from third. Yuki Matsui (1-1) pitched a perfect ninth and Jeremiah Estrada got three quick outs for his second save. With a runner at third base after a sacrifice bunt, Estrada retired Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee on grounders to shortstop to end it. Ramos provided San Francisco's lone highlight at the plate with his 11th homer, a two-run shot in the third, but it wasn't enough to lift his team out of its offensive funk. The Giants have scored four runs or fewer in 16 consecutive games, their second-longest such streak since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Giants starter Landen Roupp allowed four hits in 6 1/3 shutout innings. Padres rookie Ryan Bergert, called up from Triple-A El Paso before the game, allowed two runs and six hits over five innings in his first major league start. After the Padres' first two hitters reached base in the eighth, Giants third baseman Matt Chapman made a terrific play to snag Merrill's grounder and then stepped on the bag before throwing across the diamond to complete the double play. Before giving up the tying runs in the ninth, Doval had not allowed a run in 20 2/3 innings. It was the longest active streak in the majors. Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (6-2, 2.74 ERA) faces Giants LHP Kyle Harrison (1-1, 2.51) on Wednesday.

This 280-Strikeout Pitcher Continues to Struggle After Injuries
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just two seasons ago, a young right-hander by the name of Spencer Strider put together one of the best pitching seasons in the history of MLB. Strider went 20-5 with 281 strikeouts across 32 starts and 186 2/3 innings pitched. He was an All-Star and finished fourth in NL Cy Young voting that season. Since then, his career has been on a bit of a slide, and he looks nowhere close to the 20-game winner he was two years ago. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 03: Spencer Strider #99 of the Atlanta Braves pitches in the second inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Truist Park on June 03, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 03: Spencer Strider #99 of the Atlanta Braves pitches in the second inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Truist Park on June 03, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Strider made just two starts last season before being shut down due to an elbow injury that required surgery to replace his ulnar collateral ligament. That same injury forced his season debut this year to come on April 16, when he allowed two runs and struck out five batters over five innings. Strider suffered a hamstring injury in that outing and was forced to miss over a month before making his next start. Strider allowed five runs, including three home runs, on Monday in Atlanta's 8-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He lasted five innings, the most he's pitched since his season debut in mid-April. 2 at-bats, 2 home runs for Ketel Marte! — MLB (@MLB) June 3, 2025 Strider has made three starts since coming back from the hamstring injury and has allowed 10 runs and struck out 14 across 14 innings pitched. His season ERA is now 5.68 and the Braves have lost all four games he's started. A major area of concern for Strider has been the dip in his fastball velocity. During his 20-win season, his average fastball velocity of 97.2 mph ranked in 92nd percentile. Fast forward to this year and although it is a small sample size, Strider's average fastball velocity has fallen to 95.1 mph and is in the 68th percentile. There is certainly plenty of time for Strider to regain his confidence and find that fastball velocity again, but with at least three more seasons remaining on a six-year, $75 million contract, the Braves may have quite a bit of buyer's remorse if he continues to struggle.
