The San Francisco Giants seized the lineal championship belt with a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Oracle Park. The Giants built their advantage early, plating two runs in the first inning and adding two more in the second to take command of the game.
Minnesota struggled to mount a comeback, managing single runs in the fourth and eighth innings, but it wasn't enough to overcome San Francisco's early surge. The Giants added an insurance run in the fifth inning to extend their lead to 5-1, effectively putting the game out of reach.
With the win, San Francisco claims the belt from Minnesota, becoming the new holders of the lineal championship. The Giants will look to defend their newly won belt in their next outing.
