The Giants were swept by the Phillies in a split doubleheader, capped by a 6-5, 10-inning walk-off loss in Game 2 after another Philadelphia walk-off in the opener.
The Giants were swept by the Phillies in a split doubleheader on April 30, finishing with a painful 6-5, 10-inning walk-off loss in Game 2.
Philadelphia won both games on walk-offs, including a 3-2 victory in the opener. That made for a rough day in which San Francisco could not hold off late pressure in either contest.
In the nightcap, Kyle Schwarber tied the game with a two-out double in the ninth inning, and Alec Bohm ended it in the 10th with a sacrifice fly. MLB's official game story confirmed the 6-5 final and the sweep.
The result extended a rare bit of history for the Phillies. MLB said it was the first time in 22 years that Philadelphia had walked off twice in the same doubleheader.
For the Giants, the bigger story was not just losing both games, but losing both in the same late, abrupt way. A split doubleheader turned into a one-day sweep and a frustrating extra-innings finish.
