The home game was the first in two days for the Giants, as previous games at the Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan, South Korea did not happen due to rain.

The Giants had a short lead of two runs through most innings, although the strong defence from the team didn’t urge them to pile on a lead.

Giants Get Lead Off of Yu
