  "account": "The San Francisco Giants' bid for their fourth consecutive win in 2023 was thwarted by the Padres on Friday at Oracle Park. Former Giants pitcher Robbie Ray, who started for the Padres, allowed five runs, four hits and four walks in five innings. The Giants never got closer, losing 7-5. Molina, who has been solid since being acquired from Atlanta in August, struggled, allowing nine hits and seven runs in three innings. The loss leaves the Giants with uncertain rotation spots and highlights their inability to sustain success.",
  "summary": "The Giants, the one team in the majors without a four-game winning streak, had a chance to change that Friday but fell into a 7-1 hole and could not turn things around against the Padres.",
