SF Giants hold lead when rain delay starts and lose game in extras
Saturday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins went into weather delay after seven innings with the Giants up 1-0. The real game started with the delay lifted an hour later.
Minnesota threatened in the eight inning, leaping on reliever John Brebbia right out of the delay. Carlos Correa and Jake Cave hit back-to-back singles. Brebbia bounced back to get two outs down, including a strikeout, and make way for Camilo Doval for the four-out save attempt. Doval forced Gio Urshela into a fly out to end the threat.
But Doval issued a four-pitch walk to Max Kepler to lead the ninth inning. With two outs down, Doval walked Luis Arraez to bring Carlos Correa to bat. Correa hit a single to right field to score Kepler. Cave followed with a game-tying single. Doval escaped with the tie, but it was his third blown save of the year.
Dominic Leone pitched the 10th and loaded the bases on an intentional walk to Kepler and a walk to Gio Urshela. Leone couldn’t find the strike zone, throwing four straight balls to Gilberto Celestino to score the game-winning run without the Twins having to register a hit in the inning.Equipped with strong splitter, Cobb went toe-to-toe with Twins starter Sonny Gray to keep Minnesota scoreless through five innings. He struck out seven batters and allowed four hits.
