Replay review turns tying run into perfectly executed relay in Giants’ first game vs. Juan Soto-era San Diego.
SAN DIEGO — The play ended in a chorus of boos, fans pelting objects onto the field and John Brebbia standing on the mound waiting to throw the next pitch. Somehow, some way, the red-bearded fellow was still preserving a lead.
The perfectly executed relay from Luis González, in the furthest reaches of the left-field corner, to shortstop Brandon Crawford and, finally, to catcher Joey Bart preserved one of Alex Wood’s strongest starts of the season and paved the way to a 1-0 win over the Padres in the opener of this three-game series.Bart laid the tag on Brandon Drury and immediately signaled toward the Giants dugout to challenge the call when home plate umpire Sean Barber initially ruled Drury safe.
“As the play was developing, I didn’t think we’d have enough time,” Crawford said. “When I saw how far down the line he was, I didn’t have time to take an extra step or anything. I just threw it. Joey made one of the best picks and tags I think I’ve seen from a catcher.” The win was the Giants’ first in 12 games against the National League West — snapping a franchise-long losing streak to divisional opponents — gave them their first three-game winning streak since the All-Star break and pulled them within 5.5 games of San Diego in the NL wild card race.
