4 Hit Batters, 4 Errors: The San Francisco Giants Just Had Their Sloppiest Game Since Seattle Was Just a Thought

Alright, you gotta hear about this one, because holy smokes, the San Francisco Giants just pulled off a level of chaos on Saturday that's almost unfathomable. We're talking about a team with over 125 years of history, right? Well, they managed to lose to the Miami Marlins 6-3 in a game so sloppy, it's literally etched into their franchise record books. Get this: Giants pitchers hit four batters, and Giants fielders committed four errors. Not since they packed up from New York and landed in San Francisco before the 1958 season has that ever happened. Talk about making history the wrong way! It's only the third time in the *entire* franchise history, going back to 1883, that they've reached that kind of messy milestone. Oof.

When the Fielders Forget How to Field

Let's break down this disaster, because it’s a masterclass in giving runs away. First up, the errors. Rafael Devers added his fifth fielding error of the season to the tally. Then pitcher Trevor McDonald, who had a rough outing all around, chalked up his second error of the season on a missed catch. But the real standout for misplays? Catcher Eric Haase. He managed to snag two errors himself: one for catcher's interference and another for a bad throw. You'd think one error from a catcher is a bad day, but two? That’s next-level tough. These blunders weren't just for show, either. They opened the floodgates, especially in that brutal fourth inning when the Giants were actually tied with the Marlins.

fielding wasn't bad enough, the pitching staff decided to turn the plate into a human target. Trevor McDonald, bless his heart, hit three Marlins batters himself: Kyle Stowers, Leo Jimenez, and Esteury Ruiz. Then, to keep the theme going, Matt Gage came in and hit Jimenez too. That's four hit batters right there, folks. In that same chaotic fourth inning, Ruiz got plunked, then stole second, and sprinted to third on Haase's throwing error. He scored on a single from Jakob Marsee. Otto Lopez singled too, which officially ended McDonald’s day, and he took the loss. Gage walked Stowers to load the bases, and even though Xavier Edwards grounded into a double play that scored a run and got two outs, it still felt like the wheels were coming off. Heriberto Herandez promptly homered off Gage, making it 6-2. Gage allowed another single and then hit Jimenez again before JT Brubaker finally came in to get the last out. Only four of the six runs San Francisco gave up were even earned, which tells you everything about how much those errors cost them. Now sitting at a dismal 31-45, 14 games under .500, the Giants are wrapping up their series with the Marlins on Sunday before heading home for a much-needed day off. After that, it doesn’t get any easier. They've got a rivalry series against the Athletics from Tuesday through Thursday, followed by a tough three-game set against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. As July approaches, it sounds like the Giants are already looking ahead, probably trying to figure out which players they’ll be shopping to either cut payroll or shuffle the deck for 2027. Woof, what a season this is turning out to be for them.
