## Resource

Trevor McDonald’s career-worst outing—eight runs, eleven hits, zero strikeouts in just seven innings—set the tone for the Giants’ crushing 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays, while rookie Spencer Miles, a Rule 5 gamble, held his own for four innings. Manager’s quick hook, and bullpen ace Adrian Houser’s five-hit, five-strikeout gem, kept the Giants afloat. Now, they turn to Logan Webb to face Dylan Cease in a chance to rebound.
