The San Francisco Giants’ struggles at Oracle Park deepened Monday night with a 4–1 loss to the San Diego Padres, leaving the club with 11 defeats in its last 12 home games and dropping its home record to .500 for the season. Rafael Devers provided San Francisco’s lone spark with a solo home run in the sixth inning, but staff ace Logan Webb surrendered three runs in the seventh after re-taking the mound with 88 pitches. Freddy Fermin’s homer capped the Padres’ decisive rally, while Giants batters managed just five hits and struck out 10 times. Rookie outfielder Drew Gilbert collected his first major-league hit, yet the welcome moment came before another quiet offensive night for a team that has scored only three runs over its past three home contests. The announced crowd of 30,018 was Oracle Park’s smallest since mid-June, underscoring waning momentum for a club that surged in attendance earlier this season.
