Giants playing some of the ugliest baseball I’ve seen in a game this season. Errors. Walks. HBP. You name it. Miami 2 SF

What happened: San Francisco is playing rough baseball in Miami, trailing the Marlins 2-1 in the top of the third. Beat reporter Craig Mish flagged a stream of errors, walks and a hit batter as the Giants' defense and command came undone early. The game remains in progress.

Why it matters: Miami entered the night holding a 2-0 series lead and sits at .500 on the season, while San Francisco has scuffled to a 31-44 mark. A clean, error-free night matters for a Giants club that has struggled to string together complete games.

By the numbers: Season to date: Miami 38-38 (last five WWLLW, streak W2); San Francisco 31-44 (last five LWWWL, streak L1). Recent head-to-head: Marlins won 6-3 on June 20 and 4-3 on June 19, while the Giants took the April set 6-3 and 6-2 before Miami's 9-4 win. Miami allows 4.4 runs per game to San Francisco's 4.8.

What to watch: Watch whether San Francisco can tighten its defense and command to climb back in, or whether Miami extends its early advantage as the game and series continue.
