The final game of this series was a day game that started at 12.45pm. There weren't all that many people there when the game began, perhaps because it was such an early start to allow Atlanta to get home, but given the way that the Giants' season is going, the place never filled up.I moved seat so that I wasn't squashed up with other people on my row - the new seat I moved to was in a row of 16 seats, and only two people from that row turned up for the game, despite the whole section being otherwise "sold out".
San Francisco managed to load the bases multiple times during this game with fewer than 2 outs, but never managed to get a run home.
The Giants did get a run early on to lead 1-0, but Atlanta tied it up and then in the 9th inning, they got a stroke of luck as Flowers was called safe at 1st base and the call was so close, replay wouldn't overrule it. That loss makes 11 in a row, which is the longest losing streak in over 60 years - since the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1958.
After the game, I had dinner at McCormick & Kulteo's up at Ghirardelli Square. I receive an annual birthday gift of $25 credit towards dinner at the Landry's chain, of which M&K's is a member, so I always make sure I stop off at one during my holiday. I did not realise that I also had a free dessert as part of another promotion, so my whole dinner for the night only came to $40 including the tip!
