Giants drop fourth straight, fall to season-worst 17 games below .500

The San Francisco Giants lost 3-2 to the Kansas City Royals on July 21, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Tyler Mahle struggled on the mound, allowing three runs before exiting in the sixth inning. The Giants are now 42-59, their poorest record since 2017. Manager Tony Vitello opted to rest star player Luis Arraez to reduce injury risk, despite the close score late in the game. San Francisco will look to turn things around as the trade deadline approaches on August 3.
