Overview
- The San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 10-4 in the series opener, improving their record to 11-4 for the season.
- Taijuan Walker's 11⅔ inning scoreless streak ended in a six-run second inning, exacerbated by his own throwing error and home runs from Tyler Fitzgerald and Willy Adames.

- The Phillies struggled offensively, going 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight runners stranded despite a promising three-run first inning.
- Giants starter Landen Roupp overcame a rough start to strike out eight over five innings, while the bullpen shut down multiple Phillies scoring opportunities to secure the win.
