The Padres and Giants played their 3rd straight 1-run game of the series. After winning the first 2 games, the Padres lost the 3rd game. San Diego jumped out to a 5-0 lead thanks in large part to Gavin Sheets. Sheets had a 2-run triple in the 1st inning and a single in the 5th inning that plated 2 more runs. For the game Sheet had 2 hits and 4 RBI. However, starting pitcher Nick Pivetta and the bullpen could not make that lead standup. San Francisco scored 1 run in tbe 5th inning, and added 2 more on the 6th on a Matt Chapman homer. Pivetta started the 7th but gave way to Jason Adam and allowing the first 2 runners to reach base. Heliot Ramos double off Adam tied the game at 5. The Giants then took a 6-5 lead on a sac fly by Jung Hoo Lee. Sheets had a chance to add to his great game in the 9th inning, as he batted with the tying and go-ahead runs on base, but Sheets was unable to deliver late as a pop-up ended the game. The Dodgers also lost, so the Padres remain 1 game behind Los Angeles in the National League West. This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. to open the story in your web browser.
