The San Francisco Giants ended their long losing streak with a win, though the game was marked by typical signs of struggle. Key issues included leaving runners on base, heightened walk rates, and pitching performance that has regressed. Although the team ERA is still among the best in the National League, pitching has been inconsistent with a notable increase in walks and a decrease in strikeouts since June. The overall performance has resulted in many tough games and disappointing outcomes for the team.
The overall team ERA is 3.44 - still best in the National League and second lowest in the Majors - but after a month in which both rotation and bullpen has flirted with a middle-of-the-pack ERA of around 4.00.
Walks are up, strikeouts down. Opponents are hitting .258 with a .325 wOBA against the bullpen, marks that are in the bottom third of the league.
