The Giants had won four straight series before losing two of three to the Pirates to end the month.
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants starter Alex Wood squatted on the mound and grimaced, sporting the look of a pitcher who couldn’t seem to buy an out, for no fault of his own. The latest piece of weak contact squeaked through the infield, leading to yet another Pirates run.
The dirt and grass stains on the eggshell white uniforms of the Giants infielders were as representative of the plays that they made as their futile efforts on the balls that got past them. Of the Pirates’ six hits that led to their nine runs, one had an expected batting average of .110 , another was sub-Mendoza line and two others were expected to be a hit less than a quarter of the time . Of the remaining two hits, one was deflected off the glove of Davis and slowly rolled away in foul territory as Connor Joe scooted into second and the other, a double by Andrew McCutchen , fell out of the glove of Blake Sabol after an impressive diving attempt.
The Giants finished May with a record of 17-12, their second-most wins and third-best winning percentage in a month dating back to the start of last season. They had won four consecutive series entering their three-game set with the Pirates but weren’t able to extend the streak to five, something they haven’t done since the final five series of 2021.
