Giants Swept by Royals in Crushing Loss | San Francisco Giants News

The Giants suffered a brutal sweep at the hands of the Royals, losing Game 5 5-4 in a collapse that exposed their bullpen’s fragility and offense’s inability to sustain momentum. Landen Roupp pitched well through six innings, but a two-run homer by Salvador Perez in the 7th ignited a Royals rally that exploded into five runs — turning a lead into a loss. Seth Lugo stifled the Giants for seven innings, and while they scratched out a brief lead with a sacrifice fly and two more runs, Casey Schmitt’s 20th homer in the 9th wasn’t enough. Now 1-6 in the second half, the Giants head into an off day desperately needing a reset before facing the Angels.
