OAKLAND — The Giants got their most valuable position player back Saturday but learned it will take more than one man to cure their offensive woes that have persisted for the better part of a month.
Estrada reached base twice and scored a run, but it proved to be the only one Giants pushed across in a 2-1 loss to the lowly A’s, who fended off their 81st loss of the season. Only once, during a double-header in 2020, have the Giants recorded fewer hits over a two-game span under manager Gabe Kapler.
But, even with an effective performance from Ross Stripling, their continued offensive struggles meant any mistake was magnified. Estrada scored the tying run in the eighth after drawing a walk and scoring on a sac fly from Joc Pederson. He advanced from first to third on a single from Wilmer Flores, only the Giants’ third hit of the game — two from Flores, who extended his on-base streak to 16 games, and the other from Estrada.In his second at-bat back from the IL, with one out in the fourth inning, Estrada slapped a single into center field.
