SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants’ deficit against the New York Mets grew from one run to four runs in a span of about a minute Friday night – and not without some consternation from San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler.
Catcher Joey Bart fielded a check swing from Jeff McNeil in the fifth inning right in front of home plate, but his throw to first base went off McNeil’s back and into right field, allowing Luis Guillorme to score from second base.
Kapler came out of the dugout to talk to home plate umpire Bill Miller, presumably about McNeil being inside the line on his way to first base, but the discussion was brief.
