The San Francisco Giants defeated the New York Mets 7–2 on April 2 at Oracle Park in a lopsided affair that saw the home team's pitching staff dominate despite modest offensive efficiency. San Francisco's starter struck out 10 batters while allowing just 5 hits and 2 earned runs over what appears to be a quality outing, posting a 3.48 ERA. The Giants' 13 hits and 6 RBI drove the victory, though their .621 OPS underscored that run production came through timely contact rather than power—they managed only 1 home run. New York's offense sputtered badly, mustering just 5 hits and striking out 10 times while posting a .205 batting average, leaving the team unable to capitalize on the Vegas total line of 1. The Mets' pitching surrendered 13 hits and 6 earned runs, a costly performance that erased any chance of a comeback. With this loss, the Mets' early-season run differential takes a hit heading into their next matchup.
