Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants

Giants rout Phillies 13-1, snap seven-game losing streak

Evan Longoria and Andrew Knapp each added two RBI for San Francisco, which snapped a seven-game losing streak. Wilmer Flores, Brandon Crawford and Thairo Estrada also drove in runs.

“It’s the type of team we’re capable of being," Cobb said. “It’s been a frustrating year not living up to that standard, I think. It (was) nice to see.”

Cobb (5-6) allowed just three hits and a walk in earning his first career win against Philadelphia, which has lost four of five.

“He came out filling up the strike zone, executing his split, attacking hitters, just going right after them,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said.

San Francisco jumped on Phillies starter Kyle Gibson for four runs in the first inning and three more in the second. Gibson (9-6) allowed a season-high seven runs on five hits and four walks in 1 2/3 innings.

Pederson, Crawford and Longoria produced consecutive run-scoring hits in the first inning. Crawford scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-0.

Pederson broke it open in the second with his 21st home run, a three-run shot that splashed into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall.

San Francisco kept piling on with four runs in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Knapp and bases-loaded walks from Flores, Pederson and Longoria. The Giants drew a season-high 10 walks.

“I thought it was notable how selective our offense was today, just kind of really patient and locked in,” Kapler noted. “You could tell that the players were especially motivated to come out and perform today.”

Estrada singled home another run in the fifth. Knapp added an RBI groundout in the eighth.

Philadelphia's Alec Bohm ended the shutout bid with an RBI single in the ninth.

“All I know is we've got to bounce back tomorrow and come out and play our game,” Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said.

POSITION PLAYERS PITCHING

Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs pitched the bottom of the eighth inning, allowing a run on one hit. Giants outfielder Luis González pitched the top of the ninth, giving up a run on two hits.

CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS DAY

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, both teams wore gold ribbons on their jerseys to honor children battling cancer. The Giants also replaced traditional player photos on the scoreboard with drawings by children diagnosed with cancer.

“I hope that what they got to do tonight maybe shed a little bit of joy in their life, in that moment at least, and keeps them fighting, keeps them going hard and know that we support them,” Cobb said.
