One Bad Outing | Phillies 6, Giants 5
Sometimes, even the right decision backfires. That happens when you're required to make an infinite number of them over 162 games.
After the Giants erupted for five runs in the sixth, Gabe Kapler turned to Jarlín García to hold the lead. For the first time this year, he didn't.
Garcia hadn't allowed a run this season. Then he allowed four in the span of five batters. Trouble started brewing, as it always does, with an infield single. The Giants have allowed 17,297 of them this year. Two home runs later, the lead, and shortly thereafter, the game, were lost.
