The San Francisco Giants have ended their six-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Padres, ending it with Trevor McDonald's performance in a spot start. McDonald, who was called up to make a quick start and held the Padres to one run on two hits over seven innings, was instrumental in the team's victory. The win marks the first time the Giants have scored in six games and marks the 23rd time in 35 games this season that they have been held to three runs or fewer. The team's top prospect, Bryce Eldridge, and hot-hitting rookie Jesus Rodriguez, were not the standout performers in the game. Casey Schmitt, who scored the Giants' first home run of the season, was the highlight of the win. The Giants improved to 11-3 when hitting a home run, while they are 3-18 when held in the ballpark.
