The San Francisco Giants just picked up an exceptionally effective pitcher off the scrap heap. They signed Matt Gage to a minor-league contract, according to MLB Trade Rumors . Gage was designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers last week and elected free agency. He hasn't allowed a run in 5.2 innings at the MLB level this season. His career MLB ERA is 1.42 in 25.1 innings spread across short stints with the Blue Jays, Astros and Tigers.

He has a 4.64 ERA at the top minor league level. That doesn't hold true this

A sneaky-good pickup for San Francisco.

With San Francisco Giants star Justin Verlander coming off paternity leave just recently, the pitcher is ready to turn his season around and go back to his elite ways. As the Giants look to improve through the trade deadline, the team also looks for improvement from the players currently on the roster, including Verlander, as the veteran believes a breakthrough is coming. While Verlander hasn't been horrid, he currently has a 4.26 ERA, 55 strikeouts, and a disappointing record of 0-5, being winless through 13 starts, which, according to The Athletic, it's the longest streak in franchise history since at least 1901. “I feel like I kind of found something mechanically,” Verlander said.

Former Detroit Tigers left-hander Matt Gage has signed a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants, the organization that drafted him 11 years ago. Gage, 32, was designated for assignment by the Tigers seven days ago. Gage threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings of relief during a brief stint with Detroit before being DFA'd to clear a roster spot for Dietrich Enns, who is scheduled to make his second start for the Tigers on Thursday in Washington.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will look for a series win over the San Francisco Giants in the finale of a four-game set Thursday. It will be up to right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to help deliver a critical series win. The Diamondbacks are an even 43-43 after dropping game three Wednesday, while the Giants improved to 46-41. Arizona has guaranteed at least a split of the series after winning the first two.

It will not go down as a save for Camilo Doval. Not after he blew the Giants' two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. “I'll tell you what: I probably was (as) impressed with him as I've been all year,” Melvin said after the Giants' 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night at Chase Field. Doval took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with San Francisco leading 5-3, positioned to finish what had, up to that point, been an excellent night for the bullpen.

The Giants led 5-3 heading into the ninth, but Geraldo Perdomo led off with a single and then Ketel Marte — who was named a National League All-Star starter at second base earlier in the day — launched a tying homer to right off Camilo Doval for his 18th

Ketel Marte wasted no time proving that he's a worthy MLB All-Star starter after he tried to rescue the Diamondbacks from defeat.

The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants knew the importance of their contest on Wednesday night, with the former looking to win their third straight ballgame and the latter looking to snap their four-game losing skid. In the ninth inning, it looked as though the Giants were on their way to wrapping up a 5-3 victory on the road. The Diamondbacks' up-the-middle duo came up huge, with Perdomo getting on base via a single, setting up Marte's heroics in the ninth as the National League's All-Star starter at second base came through with a game-tying homer.

Jung Hoo Lee singled, doubled, tripled, drove in a run and scored two for the San Francisco Giants, who ended a four-game losing streak with a 6-5, 10-inning win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday in Phoenix. Mike Yastrzemski hit a game-opening home run and Brett Wisely had two hits, an RBI and a run from the No. 9 spot for the Giants, whose skid matched their longest of the season. Giants starter Landen Roupp was lifted after four-plus innings.

It was not the most sustainable formula for a win, but the Giants will take anything they can get amidst their worst stretch of the season. Camilo Doval blew a save in the bottom of the ninth inning by allowing a game-tying, two-run homer to All-Star starter Ketel Marte, but immediately rebounded to secure a 6-5 win by pitching a scoreless 10th inning to snap the Giants' four-game losing streak. For Doval, it was his first time pitching two innings since July 14, 2022.

Coming into the 2025 season, the infield of the San Francisco Giants appeared to be set. With the notable addition of Willy Adames, the team was able to slide Tyler Fitzgerald to second after his breakout performance in 2024 to keep him in the lineup. Although they acquired Rafael Devers, the offense hasn't been able to stop their skid. One glaring weakness that's been apparent throughout this campaign has been second base.

Bob Melvin found himself using the backup plan to the backup plan's backup plan. Wilmer Flores hasn't regularly played third base in years. The Giants have limited Flores to designated hitter and first base after he dealt with a right knee issue last year, an ailment that required a season-ending Tenex procedure. Amidst a flurry of injuries to Matt Chapman, Casey Schmitt and Christian Koss, starting Flores at third was suddenly one of the Giants' only viable options.
