The final score was Giants 11 Reds 10

DeSclafani is heading for the IL. He barely made two innings, gave up four runa, followed by another "genius" move when Kapler decided to relieve with Manaea, managed to go two innings and gave up three runs.

Flores had a great night with 2 home runs and 5 RBI's.

They're at the top of the WC standings and behind the Dodgers by 2 games
or so.

They need another reliable starter or two, as well as batting help.

Their farm system was rated around the middle at the start of the
season. Bart, the #2 pick of his draft class, has shown no signs he
will live up to his draft. In fact Bailey may take the starting
catching job from now on, indefinitely.

Not sure whom they can trade for.

Nor whether they will look for big moves in free agency, starting with
bidding on Ohtani. If nothing else, they have to make sure the price is
expensive if some other teams sign him. And right now, Dodgers are
considered one of the favorites.
