The San Francisco Giants dropped a 5-1 extra-innings decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Oracle Park on Sunday, September 27, 2026, as rookie reliever Duncan Davitt surrendered a grand slam to Andy Pages in the 10th inning. The Giants managed just one run across ten frames against a parade of Dodgers arms, falling in a game that required ten innings to decide. Los Angeles overcame a one-run deficit to win, making it a costly defeat for San Francisco in a division rivalry matchup.
Andy Pages Grand Slam in the 10th Decides the Game
The Giants carried a 1-0 lead into extra innings, but Davitt could not hold it. The right-hander allowed two hits and a walk in his lone inning of work, surrendering three earned runs — with Pages doing the bulk of the damage via a grand slam that turned a tight game into a 5-1 final. Davitt was charged with the loss.
Pages finished the night 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI, making him the unambiguous difference-maker in this one. Max Muncy and Tommy Edman each went 2-for-3 to keep the Dodgers' lineup producing throughout the evening.
Giants Bullpen Logged Nine Innings but Couldn't Escape the 10th
San Francisco's bullpen workload was staggering. Ten pitchers combined to cover the game, and for nine innings the Giants' relievers largely held their own against a potent Dodgers lineup.

- Duncan Davitt: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 0 K — took the loss
The Giants' bullpen held the Dodgers scoreless through nine innings before Davitt ran into trouble in the 10th. No starting pitcher appeared in the box score data, suggesting the game leaned heavily on the relief corps from early on.
Dodgers Arms Stifled San Francisco's Offense
The Giants managed just one run against a Los Angeles pitching staff that used seven arms. Bobby Miller was the most dominant, striking out five batters over two scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and two walks. Evan Phillips added two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth to keep San Francisco off the board heading into extras. Alex Vesia earned the win after a clean inning of work in the 10th.
Jack Dreyer opened the game for the Dodgers, allowing one earned run over two innings. Justin Wrobleski, Roki Sasaki, and Edwin Díaz each contributed scoreless frames, making it a full-roster effort from Los Angeles on the mound.
Turning Point: Davitt and the 10th-Inning Breakdown
The Giants had done the hard work of keeping the game within reach for nine-plus innings. When Davitt took the mound in the 10th with the automatic runner on base — standard extra-innings rules — the situation was precarious from the start. Two hits and a walk loaded the bases, and Pages' grand slam cleared them all. That sequence erased whatever the Giants' offense had scratched together and sealed the outcome before San Francisco could answer.
What's Next for the Giants
San Francisco will look to bounce back as the 2026 regular season winds toward its conclusion. The Giants will need sharper offensive output — one run in ten innings against a bullpen-heavy opponent is not a recipe for wins in any stretch of the schedule. The pitching staff showed resilience, but the offense has to give them more support.
