None of that stopped either lineup from getting into arms early. The Giants had 10 hits and got production spread across the game rather than parked in one big swing, while the Mets managed just 5 hits and couldn't string enough of them together to answer back.
San Francisco built this one in pieces — a run in the 1st, two more in the 3rd, then a three-run 5th blew it open. The Mets answered with two in the 2nd and clawed at a run in the 7th and two in the 9th, but by then the deficit was too deep. A San Francisco error was the only blemish on an otherwise clean day at the plate for the Giants, who out-hit New York 10-5 and made it hold up.
The Polymarket chat room for this one ran about half the size of a typical MLB night, but it still had its moments — the busiest stretch came late in the game as San Francisco's lead firmed up. One poster, sensing where things were headed, cracked "if sf wins ill give u a kiss," while someone holding a Devers hit prop got rewarded almost immediately: "Damn shoudlve put him for a homer."
It's a game between two clubs playing out a lost season more than chasing October, but Saturday was a reminder that even non-contenders can turn in a clean, complete win when the bats wake up across the whole lineup instead of leaning on one guy to do it all.
