Giants' Wilmer Flores walks it off in 10th after 9-pitch battle with A's Mason Miller

Throughout the afternoon at Oracle Park, all during batting practice, the wind was blowing hard out to center. Then the game started, the gusts shifted and with the sun glaring off the batter's eye, the pitchers suddenly had an advantage. The A's power, which loomed as a potential problem as the flags whipped toward McCovey Covey, was not in evidence. The San Francisco Giants, who'd scored seven or more runs the previous three games, tiptoed through the first nine innings before Wilmer Flores did his RBI thing again in a 1-0 Giants victory. The A's made the tactical error of walking Mike Yastrzemski with first base open and two outs in the 10th, then Flores — who had homered three times and driven in eight runs the night before — put together an inspired at-bat against A's All-Star closer Mason Miller, a nine-pitch walk that included three two-strike foul balls. His 42 RBIs lead the majors, breaking a tie with the Yankees' Aaron Judge. Landen Roupp started for San Francisco and put together his best outing in a month, going six innings and allowing five hits and two walks, and he was sensational with men on base. With men at the corners and one out in the second, he struck out JJ Bleday on three pitches, finishing him off with a curveball, then he got Nick Kurtz to ground out to second. In the fourth, in the same situation, he got Bleday to pop up and struck out Kurtz looking, one of his five Ks on the evening. He's known for his nasty curveball, but it was the sinker, which induced lots of weak contact, that really worked well for Roupp and helped set up the curve well.

T_2:23. A_40,448 (41,915). Veteran Luis Severino had a similar outing for the A's, lasting six innings while allowing four hits and a walk and striking out five. The Giants only tested him once: In the third, they loaded the bases with one out, but Severino struck out Jung Hoo Lee and Heliot Ramos, the latter on a check swing. That started a stretch in which Severino retired 11 of the final 12 men he faced. The Giants went 16 batters without a hit before Tyler Fitzgerald's soft single leading off the eighth, but he was thrown out trying to steal just as Yastrzemski struck out looking. There was only one hit that registered over 94 mph, Tyler Soderstrom's first-inning double at 111.9 mph. Also in that range that inning was Brent Rooker's scorcher to dead center that Lee tracked down just in front of the wall with a backhand grab. Giants relievers worked quickly and efficiently — absurdly so. Randy Rodriguez had a 1-2-3 11 pitch inning, Tyler Rogers did the same with just four pitches and Ryan Walker with seven. In the 10th, Camilo Doval needed 14 pitches but he had to work around the placed runner at second, and with two outs, he walked hot-hitting Jacob Wilson before striking out Rooker with a slider as the crowd stood and roared.
