For the first time in their long history, the Giants experienced what it's like to start an extra inning with a runner on second base. It could not possibly have gone worse.
Tyler Rogers started the 10th with Trent Grisham on second and walked off a few minutes later with four runs already in. But then he was called back, because the Giants made an illegal pitching change -- Gabe Kapler came to get him immediately after a visit from pitching coach Andrew Bailey.

Rogers came back out and gave up a run on a squeeze. When the inning was done, the Padres had six runs and an eventual 12-7 win in a game that earlier had featured another huge comeback by the Giants.
A night after overcoming a four-run deficit, the Giants trailed 6-1 heading into the seventh. They scored three in that inning with a long rally and Mike Yastrzemski tripled home a run in the eighth and then scored on Donovan Solano's sac fly to tie the game. But all of that went to waste. Here are three things to know ...
Yaz Hands
There isn't a hotter hitter in the game right now than Yastrzemski, who had two more hits, two walks, three runs and an RBI. Yastrzemski has reached base in 10 of his last 14 plate appearances overall, two of which were homers on Wednesday.

Yastrzemski leads the majors with eight runs and leads the National League with 11 hits, but he has a teammate who isn't far behind in terms of production. Solano backed his own big game Wednesday with three doubles, a single and two RBI. He's tied for the NL lead with nine RBI.

The New Guy
Kevin Gausman struck out eight in his first start for the Giants, but he didn't make it through five and gave up three earned, which wasn't going to work with the vastly-underrated Dinselson Lamet going on the other side.
The good news for the Giants is that Gausman's stuff was pretty dominant, particularly his splitter. His best stretch actually came when the Padres were rallying.
They opened the fourth with a triple and three straight singles, but Gausman escaped a complete disaster by reaching back for the good stuff. He struck out Wil Myers, Ty France and Francisco Mejia to strand two more in scoring position, with all three outs coming on splitters. That ended up being huge.
With his good fastball and that splitter, there will be better days for Gausman, who is expected to be a regular in the rotation.

Take Two
The second time out wasn't nearly as kind to rookie left-hander Caleb Baragar, who dominated the Dodgers. Baragar gave up three hits and two runs, both coming on a pull shot by former A's infielder Jurickson Profar. The Padres didn't seem as baffled by Baragar's fastball as the Dodgers, who had never seen him before.
