Giants Bullpen Faces Scrutiny After Another Disastrous Outing
Giants Bullpen Struggles Continue
The San Francisco Giants bullpen has been a major source of frustration for the team this season, and Friday night's game against the Seattle Mariners was no exception.
The Giants entered the game with a 5-3 lead, but the bullpen allowed the Mariners to tie the game in the eighth inning and then take the lead in the 11th inning.
The Giants bullpen has now allowed 17 runs in its last 10 innings, and the team's record is now 4-6 in games that the bullpen has entered with a lead.
Melvin Voices Concerns
Giants manager Bob Melvin expressed his frustration with the bullpen's performance after the game.
"We've got to find a way to get more out of our bullpen," Melvin said. "We're not getting enough outs, and we're not keeping the game close enough."
The Giants have five weeks remaining in the regular season, and they need to find a way to improve their bullpen performance if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
