Alex Wood allowed six earned runs in 4 1/3 innings and the SFGiants weren’t able to recover as they dropped the series finale to the Pirates.
The Giants signed Jackson to a two-year deal in the offseason, hoping he could eventually return to a late-innings relief role. He closed for the Atlanta Braves at one point and generally pitched in the seventh and eighth in 2021.The bottom of the sixth was a few feet from being one of the most exciting innings of the year for a team now heavily relying on rookies.
Blake Sabol led off with a single, his second of the day against his former team, and took third on Patrick Bailey's single to right. Casey Schmitt nearly made it a three-rookie homer when he hit a deep fly ball to left, but Bryan Reynolds made a leaping grab at the wall. Schmitt was held to a sacrifice fly.Chopping Wood
Wood wasn't hit particularly hard, but the Pirates put the ball in play and found holes, leaving him with an ugly line. Wood gave up eight hits in 4 1/3, most of which were bouncers to the left side that either got between J.D. Davis and Schmitt or got down the line for extra bases. He was charged with six earned runs, a season-high.
