Giants relievers have thrown more innings than any other group in MLB and surrendered 7 runs while blowing a 3-0 lead in their first game of the second half.
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers reacts after giving up a three-run home run to Colorado Rockies’ Jake Cave in the eighth inning of a baseball game Friday, July 19, 2024, in Denver. DENVER — No team asked more of its bullpen than the Giants in the first half of the season, so it justifiably raised some alarm bells when the group was handed a 3-0 lead in their first game after the All-Star break and flipped the score into a 7-3 loss.
“It’s just a night where we gave up some runs,” Melvin said Saturday. “Sometimes it happens. You don’t expect it out of the guys that have been so good. Our seventh and eighth inning guys have been fantastic this year.” Walker has allowed four runs on six hits and walked three batters over his past four appearances. It took opponents the prior 22 games Walker appeared in to score four runs against him, dating back to May 18, lowering his ERA to 1.91 before it spiked to 2.45 after his recent rough stretch.
“I feel like I feel great. I don’t feel exhausted or anything,” Walker said. “Could it be affecting pitch shapes or control of the zone a little bit? Maybe. But I don’t know if that’s just pitchers going through ups and downs or if that’s the workload, or what.”
