San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres - News - August 02, 2026

Osleivis Basabe - Carries offense in narrow loss Basabe went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four total RBI in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Basabe was ultra-productive out of the No. 9 slot in the order in his first start of the season. The 25-year-old put San Francisco on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, then came up huge in a clutch spot in the eighth when he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off All-Star closer Mason Miller to tie the score 5-5. Basabe had all of one homer over 96 MLB plate appearances coming into Saturday, so his display of power was quite unexpected. His ability to play multiple infield positions could come in handy for San Francisco, but Basabe isn't expected to start on a regular basis.

Freddy Fermin - Snaps power drought Saturday Fermin went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI In a 6-5 win against the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Fermin turned a one-run deficit into a one-run lead with a two-run blast in the fourth inning. He added another RBI with a single in the sixth. The backstop homered in three straight games in early June, but since then he had gone 20 straight contests without a long ball, batting a meager .191 with zero RBI during that span. Fermin has been splitting time with Luis Campusano behind the plate -- each player has started four of San Diego's past eight games.

Tyler Mahle - Mixed bag in no-decision Mahle allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus San Diego on Saturday.

Impact On the plus side, Mahle induced 13 whiffs and struck out a season-high nine batters. However, the five earned runs were the most he's allowed across his past eight starts. Mahle didn't give up a ton of traffic, but five of the eight batters who reached against him came around to score. The right-hander pitched pretty well in July with a 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 22.1 innings spanning four starts, so this was a small step back for him. Mahle will look to get back on track the next time he takes the mound, which is projected to be at home against Detroit.

Mason Miller - Blows first save but nabs win Miller (4-1) blew a save but earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing one hit and walking one batter while striking out three over 1.2 innings.

Impact Miller was summoned with one out and the bases loaded in the eighth inning to try to protect a two-run lead. He struck out the first batter he faced but then gave up a two-run, game-tying double to Osleivis Basabe. Miller retired the final batter he faced in the frame and also pitched a scoreless ninth, and he emerged with the win after San Diego walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. Though he wasn't charged with any runs, Miller was tagged with his first blown save of the campaign in his 29th save opportunity. He nonetheless lowered his ERA to a sparkling 0.76 and how has a jaw-dropping 88:16 K:BB across 47.1 innings spanning 45 appearances.

Walker Buehler - Goes just 4.1 innings Saturday Buehler allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Saturday.

Impact All of the scoring against Buehler came in the third inning, when the Giants racked up three runs on five hits and a walk. The right-hander was pulled with just one out in the fifth frame after putting two runners on base. Buehler has gone 10 straight outings without completing six innings and has posted a 5.98 ERA over that stretch. He's at a poor 5.18 ERA on the campaign through 22 appearances spanning 104.1 innings but seems to be locked into the rotation since San Diego doesn't have a wealth of starting pitching depth.
