The San Francisco Giants, as expected, officially placed Landen Roupp on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation on Friday although there remained no word as to how much time the right-handed starting pitcher might be forced to miss.

The Padres capitalized on some sloppy Giants defense in a win over San Francisco, setting up another 1st place battle with the Dodgers.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames returned to Milwaukee on Friday and said he isn't particularly surprised by his former team's summertime surge.

Giants' hitters have performed as expected or worse than expected. The lack of breakout seasons has really hurt their playoff hopes.

A disastrous fifth inning doomed the Giants in San Francisco's 8-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday afternoon at Petco Park.

Through three innings, the Giants owned a 2-0 lead and positioned themselves to at least salvage a series split. Justin Verlander retired the first nine batters he faced, and the offense scored a pair of runs in the third thanks to rare shoddy defense from Platinum Glover Fernando Tatis Jr.

Heliot Ramos, Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores homered off Nestor Cortes in the first inning and the San Francisco Giants beat San Diego 4-3 to hand the Padres their fourth straight loss.

This is why the Padres were fine with Yu Darvish missing so much of the season. This is how the Padres play. This went better for the Padres than when they played the Dodgers last week in Los Angeles.
