Giants Shut Out for Seventh Time This Sesaon
Offensive woes, solid start by Tampa Bay Rays' Shane McClanahan sink San Francisco Giants 3-0.
Maybe the San Francisco Giants need to figure out how to get their offense in gear. For the seventh time already in the young 2026 MLB season, the Giants were shut out as the Tampa Bay Rays got a 3-0 victory at Tropicana Field on Friday night. Rays starter Shane McClanahan threw six shutout innings and boosted his season record to 3-2.
Robbie Ray was not bad for the Giants, going 6 1/3 innings and allowing just four hits, three runs (all earned), didn't give up a walk, and struck out five. JT Brubaker came on to pitch the final 1 2/3 innings and kept the Rays' bats in check. But Ray did give up two home runs, solo shots by Tampa Bay's Yandy Diaz in the second inning and Junior Caminero in the fourth inning.
Tampa Bay added a run in the sixth inning to go up 3-0. Bryan Baker picked up his eighth save for the Rays. Six Giants players had hits -- Luis Arraez, Casey Schmitt, Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Jung Hoo Lee, and Patrick Bailey.
That was the extent of the San Francisco offense. Devers getting a hit is a good sign as he's been trying to get going offensively. Earlier this week, Devers talked about his offensive woes with Giants beat reporter Maria Guardado of MLB.
