The San Francisco Giants have been very up and down to start the 2026 MLB season, and the trend continued tonight as they struggled offensively in a 10-3 loss to the New York Mets at Oracle Park. Tyler Mahle was rocked in his second start of the season as he surrendered five runs and eight hits through five innings of work. This team is either feast or famine so far this season, and whether they find some consistency this year will likely determine if they make the playoffs.

The San Francisco Giants jump on the New York Mets for a big bounce-back win, and there’s a lot to like. Robbie Ray battled through command issues but still delivered a gutsy outing, while Tony Vitello made a fascinating high-leverage call by going to Ryan Walker early to disrupt the Mets’ rhythm. At the plate, it was an offensive explosion led by Daniel Susac, who had a historic first career start, with major contributions from Rafael Devers, Luis Arráez, and Matt Chapman. Is Susac already forcing his way into a bigger role — maybe even part of a catcher tandem or DH mix? We break down the breakout, the strategy, and what it means moving forward.

The San Francisco Giants drop a messy one to the San Diego Padres, but still take the series — and honestly, that’s what matters after getting swept by the New York Yankees. We break down a game that had a little bit of everything: solid but unspectacular pitching, an offense that’s starting to show real signs of life, and some in-game tension between Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt that got caught on camera. Chapman addressed it postgame — “We’re all brothers here… it’s all good” — while Schmitt kept it simple: “We’re trying to win games.” Plus, thoughts from Tony Vitello on Rafael Devers, and a quick turnaround preview as the Giants head into a four-game set with the New York Mets.

The San Francisco Giants got the bats going in a big way tonight, tallying 13 hits and plating 7 runs as they beat down the New York Mets 7-2 for their first win at Oracle Park this season. Daniel Susac delivered a 3-3 night with a walk in his first MLB start, and four other Giants had multi-hit games. Robbie Ray battled through 5.1 innings on the mound, striking out seven and holding the New York Mets to just two runs. Blade Tidwell, who was recalled from Sacramento prior to tonight's game, got a little bit of revenge tonight as he recorded his first MLB save, which came against his former team.

The San Francisco Giants are rolling — the bats explode again as they win their second straight and suddenly look like a team ready to take control of the series. Every starter recorded a hit, Willy Adames continues to look comfortable at the top of the lineup, and both Adames and Matt Chapman went deep. Logan Webb wasn’t at his sharpest but battled through it to secure the win, showing why he’s still the anchor of this staff. Plus, a major long-term discussion: Buster Posey and the Giants are taking a cautious approach with top prospect Bryce Eldridge, with no plans for an early extension — what that says about their philosophy and how it compares to other teams locking up young talent early. And we break down key takeaways from chairman Greg Johnson, including the organization’s stance on spending, roster building, and why the Giants believe they’re built to win now and long-term.

The San Francisco Giants sealed their first series win of the 2026 MLB season as they beat the Padres for the second consecutive night, this time thanks in part to a HUGE rally in the top of the 6th inning. Willy Adames had a four-hit night, including a home run, to help out starter Logan Webb, who spun six innings of mostly quality pitching. After a shaky third inning, Webb locked in and retired ten consecutive batters. With the win, the San Francisco Giants move to 2-3 on the season.

The San Francisco Giants pick up their first win of the Tony Vitello era behind dominant pitching from Landen Roupp and a lights-out inning from Keaton Winn, while Harrison Bader provides early pop and the lineup shows signs of life. But the bigger story might be off the field, as the Giants officially move on from former top prospect Luis Matos, trading him to the Milwaukee Brewers after designating him for assignment. What went wrong, and why now? Plus, a full breakdown of the Tyler Fitzgerald DFA, what it says about the roster crunch, and why the Giants are betting on upside arms like Dylan Smith to reshape a bullpen still searching for answers. This episode dives into what the win means, what these moves signal, and how the Giants are building this roster in real time.

The San Francisco Giants FINALLY picked up their first win of the 2026 MLB season as Landen Roupp was filthy on the bump tonight and Harrison Bader smashed the team's first home run of the season. The bottom of the order produced some key runs in the win as well, but Ryan Walker nearly gave it away in the ninth inning. It wasn't perfect, but it was a win, nevertheless.

It was a brutal series for the San Francisco Giants — and the numbers say it all. Just one run over three games in a historically bad offensive stretch. On today’s Locked On Giants, we break down exactly what went wrong and whether this is just early-season noise or something deeper. Manager Tony Vitello pointed to something unexpected — his own pre-series message possibly having an impact: “They’ve been in fifth gear, riding hot, the entire time or too much,” Vitello said, adding that he wanted to see a “relaxed version of this group.” “I’d kind of put it on me a little bit,” said Vitello. “I got all fire and brimstone a few days ago, and I think some good words were shared, but I also think as of right now it’s a little emotional in there, and there are a lot of try-hards.” We also discuss whether the Giants are leaning a little too “old school” early on — including lineup decisions like not pinch hitting for Jung Hoo Lee — and whether adjustments could already be coming. Plus, a look ahead to a tough matchup with the San Diego Padres, featuring stars like Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, and Jake Cronenworth. If there’s a weakness, it’s pitching — which means the Giants offense has to respond. And around the league, it’s not getting easier: big performances like Dominic Smith’s walk-off grand slam, Joey Wiemer going a perfect 6-for-6 with two home runs, and top prospect James Tibbs III putting together a two-homer weekend. Meanwhile, former Giant Kyle Harrison is set to make his first start for a 97-win Brewers team.

The San Francisco Giants have had just about the worst start to the 2026 season that you could ask for, and their terrible play continued today as they fell to the New York Yankees 3-1. The win gives the Yankees a sweep over the San Francisco Giants to start the year, and the offense has been the main culprit for the bad baseball in the Bay. While the San Francisco Giants were finally able to muster more than just a couple of hits, they shrank in the biggest moments of today's game and failed to deliver the big hit they needed.
