Giants Fall Short in Snell’s Absence, Lose to Mets 8-2

The Giants’ struggles continued on Wednesday as they dropped an 8-2 decision to the Mets. Despite missing their scheduled starter, Blake Snell, the Giants were unable to overcome a shaky bullpen performance and numerous missed scoring opportunities. The loss prevented the Giants from climbing back to .500 and marked their fifth consecutive loss in games scheduled for Snell to start. The Giants will look to bounce back on Thursday as they welcome the Pirates to Oracle Park for a three-game series.

Former Teammates Reunite as Giants Face Mets in Series Finale

The San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, led by former teammates Blake Snell and Sean Manaea, will square off Wednesday afternoon for a three-game sweep. Snell and Manaea were teammates on the San Diego Padres in 2022 before moving on to different teams this season. Manaea will be pitching against the Giants for the first time since leaving in January as a free agent, while Snell joined the Giants as a free agent two months later. Both pitchers will be looking to improve their records, with Snell seeking his first quality start for San Francisco. The matchup also allows for a reunion with new Giants third baseman Matt Chapman, who played alongside Manaea in Oakland for five seasons.
