Mel Ott hit a 2-run home run in the 5th off Gio Gonz\u00e1lez that proved to be the difference. Other than back-to-back doubles in the 7th inning, Giants starter Carl Hubbell allowed just one other hit in 7 innings while striking out 6. Robb Nen pitched a perfect 8th, and Rod Beck a perfect 9th to pick up the save, as San Francisco advanced with the 3-1 win. Willie McCovey was the only player in the game to have 2 hits. McCovey was 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Roger Bresnahan was 0 for 3 with a walk filling in for Barry Bonds, who hopes to return to the lineup tomorrow. The Giants entered the Tournament as the top-seeded National League team, but fell to Miami in round 1. They hope to work their way up through the Loser&#8217;s Bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=washington-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Washington @ San Francisco &#8211; 10\/2\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what has become common in the last few games of the Baseball Maelstrom Tournament, the Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants combined for just 7 hits.
