The Giants used 23 players to beat the Phillies, 5-4, equaling the total number of hits between both teams.
SAN FRANCISCO — Splitting his time in the middle innings Saturday between the bench and the batting cages attached to the Giants dugout, Austin Slater began to take notice of the diminishing number of teammates surrounding him.When Slater eventually entered as a defensive replacement in the top of the ninth, he became the 23rd player used by the Giants in a 5-4 win over the Phillies. It only took nine innings, but the Giants emptied their bench and used all but two of their relievers.
“We’re taking these games and we’ll take every game until the season ends very seriously and give everything we have to try to win them,” Kapler said after the win, only hours after noting pregame that, “we’ve discussed and will continue to discuss how many things there are to play for here in September and how important the month is.”
The frame proved to be pivotal in the win, plating the go-ahead run when Joc Pederson drew a bases-loaded walk, and the scoring rally was set up by a line change for the ages. “That sixth inning was really important and the way we would like to manage these games and would like to approach them,” Kapler said. “Obviously with a deeper bullpen and a deeper bench, we can take some liberties and try to create some matchups.”
