Tough Loss at Home Against the White Sox 
Hey Giants fans, unfortunately, we couldn't pull off a win against the White Sox today. Despite a promising start, we fell 6-2 after a disastrous 9th inning.Early Game Recap 
️
Right from the start, we faced some difficulties. Nicky Lopez tripled and eventually scored to give the White Sox an early lead. We had a chance to respond with Tyler Fitzgerald getting on base, but a double play ended our hopes in the first inning.The White Sox extended their lead in the 4th inning, but we managed to rally back. Mark Canha hit a ground rule double, followed by a double from Heliot Ramos. Jerar Encarnación and Thairo Estrada came up clutch with RBIs to even the score at 2-2. Exciting moments!
Middle Innings: The Stalemate 
Both teams struggled to score in the middle innings. The score remained tied at 2-2 as our pitchers managed to keep the White Sox at bay, and their pitchers did the same to our hitters. We saw some impressive plays, though. Shoutout to Ramos for that double in the 9th!9th Inning Heartbreak 
Everything fell apart in the top of the 9th. Luis Robert Jr. walked and stole second, followed by a walk for Andrew Benintendi. A critical error on a hit from Korey Lee led to two runs. Then Lenyn Sosa's single drove in another two.Even though Ramos doubled to right in the bottom of the 9th, we couldn't capitalize. Mike Yastrzemski hit for Encarnación but grounded out, and Estrada flied out to center, ending our comeback hopes.
Looking Ahead
