Jung Hoo Lee hit his league-leading 10th double. Matt Chapman singles to RF. The right fielder threw the ball into the Giants' dugout scoring Lee, who was gong to stay at 3rd, but was awarded the base. "That's one of the worst throws I've seen in a long, long time."

Giants 5 Phillies 4 heading to the bottom of the 5th.

Single, walk, walk - the Phillies loaded the bases with 0 outs. Castellanos hit a popup to shallow RF handled by Yaz. Runners held. Realmuto, batting as a DH, "that was a strike - called it a ball" first pitch. The count was worked to 3-2. Foul. Then ball 4. Robbie Ray walked in a run. The Giants' pitching coach is out to the mound. Neither starting pitcher has his act together yet. The Giants are having trouble with the catcher-pitcher comms. Might have been a problem in the top of the inning, too. Again Ray dealt with a full count, but he struck out Bohm. Then Ray fell behind and walked Sosa. The conga line moved. 4-2 Giants. Marchan followed and struck out swinging.

Each starter has thrown over 30 pitches in 1 inning of work.

Whew.

Giants 4 Phillies 2 after 1 inning.
