Fans attempt to catch a home run ball hit by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. of the Arizona Diamondbacks during the second inning of the MLB game against the San Francisco Giants at Chase Field on June 03, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. PHOENIX — As soon as the Giants’ season seemed to have turned around, they hit their worst skid yet.
The loss was the Giants’ fifth in a row, sending them to 29-32, their worst streak of the season, negating strong offensive efforts from Heliot Ramos and Brett Wisely and 4⅔ innings of relief from Spencer Howard. Moved into the leadoff spot for the first time in his major-league career, Brett Wisely continued on his tear and supplied the bulk of the Giants’ offense against Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson, who limited them to one run on five hits besides Ramos’ blast, requiring only 80 pitches to complete 7⅔ innings.
Ramos, meanwhile, did his best Mookie Betts impersonation with a pair of running grabs in right field before going the opposite way on a first-pitch fastball Nelson attempted to sneak over the outer half of the plate. The game-tying home run was Ramos’ fourth of the season and the first of his career to the opposite field.
The game turned on a replay review when the next batter, Jorge Soler, bounced a ground ball to third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who fired high to first, pulling Christian Walker off the bag. First base umpire Brian Knight initially ruled Soler safe, allowing Chapman to score the go-ahead run, but the call was overturned when Arizona challenged and video showed Walker’s glove making contact with Soler’s helmet before he touched the bag.
