Giants Fall 5-2 to Pirates: Devers' Power Surge | Thompson 2 Clark

In this Postgame edition of Thompson 2 Clark — the San Francisco Giants podcast on BSPN — Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales break down today's series finale loss to the Pirates. Pittsburgh closed out the set with a 5-2 win, with five walks from Blade Tidwell doing the damage, as the Giants dropped the three-game series 1-2 after taking Game 2 in extras on Rafael Devers' 32nd homer of the season and a go-ahead Bryce Eldridge double.

Zooming out, it's still been a strong stretch for San Francisco — the Giants swept a three-game series at Truist Park last week, capped by a 7-3 win on August 31 that snapped Atlanta's seven-game winning streak and pushed them to 5-1 against the Braves this season. Devers has been the story of the second half all along, with 32 home runs and counting.

Brad and Garrett also touch on Buster Posey confirming Tony Vitello will be back as manager in 2027, and look ahead to Jackson Flora — the Giants' first-round pick out of UC Santa Barbara — taking the mound for Single-A San Jose this weekend.
