In various ways on Saturday afternoon, the Yankees couldn’t finish off the Giants.

Yankees relief pitcher Michael King reacts as he walks off the mound after ending the sixth inning against the Giants.The Giants took the lead for good in the sixth, when reliever Michael King was winning the at-bat, got ahead of left fielder Blake Sabol 0-2 — then drilled him to load the bases with no one out.
