The Giants beat the Yankees for the second day in a row. The final score was 7-2, although the game looked much closer until the late innings. Noah Lowry finally got back on track after weeks of poor starts, giving up a single earned run over 5.2 innings. Although he walked five hitters, he only gave up two hits. In a key moment in the ninth inning, Lowry retired Alex Rodriguez in a bases-loaded spot, giving up only one run and preserving the Giants' lead.
Sloppy Yankee defense in the eight inning extended the Giants' lead to 7-1, allowing the Giants' to bring in Jack Taschner in the ninth, rather than closer Brad Hennessey. The game also featured a sight unseen since 1984: Roger Clemens made only his second major league relief appearance, giving up a hit, a walk, and an earned run over a single inning. His only other relief appearance came in 1984 against the A's.
