Harrison Bader's grand slam in the fifth inning propelled the San Francisco Giants to a 10-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox, snapping a four-game losing streak. This win, however, does not overshadow the Giants' ongoing struggles. With an on-base percentage of .290, they rank last in the major leagues, potentially facing the lowest figure in franchise history. Their total of 108 walks this season is also the fewest in the league, indicating a significant offensive deficiency. Despite Bader's heroics, the Giants remain 10 games under .500, and their inability to come back from deficits is evident, as they are 0-24 when trailing after six innings. The rotation's performance has been equally dismal, ranking last in Wins Above Average, which raises concerns about their ability to compete moving forward. The Giants must capitalize on any gifts, like Bader's grand slam, if they hope to salvage their season.
