Snell started the away game against the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum on the 19th (Korea time) and pitched six hits and one run in seven innings. Snell was replaced in a 1-1 tie, and San Francisco won 4-2 at the end of the 10th inning and no winning pitcher record was given.
However, he boasted the prowess of last year's NL Cy Young Award winner by holding a QS march in seven consecutive games since the Minnesota Twins on July 15.
Snell suffered an adductor injury shortly after the opening of this season and did not start the season normally. In addition, after returning, he suffered a groin injury and was put on the injured list again, and was criticized for being "short-term eating and running". Then, he has continued to play well since his second return on July 10.
Snell, who pitched well against the Toronto Blue Jays with one hit and no runs in five innings at the time, has won two games and a 1.03 ERA in eight games so far. There are five scoreless pitching during this period. In particular, he showed his strength to take 15 strikeouts in six innings against the Colorado Rockies on July 28, and his next appearance against the Cincinnati Reds on August 3rd, he struck out 11 in nine innings without allowing a run.
His season record is 2-3 with a 3.67 ERA. He had three losses and a 10.42 ERA in six games he pitched until June. Before and after the injury is so contrasting. Above all, given that he is playing in the second half of the race in a healthy body, chances are high that he will give up the $30 million player option next year and tap the market again.

However, if the season ends with the current 'force', the market's response is likely to be different.
Snell gave up two walks and struck out 10, showing off his powerful pitching. Throwing 109 pitches, his fastball speed averaged up to 98.0 miles and 95.8 miles. The ball control and timing were effective, with the ratio of inducing swings and misses between curves and changeups reaching 63% and 67%, respectively.
Snell, who threw eight pitches in the bottom of the first inning to put three batters to rest, continued his momentum in the second inning with three strikeouts. In the third inning, he struck out first baseman Jack Geloff with a straight hit to third baseman and Darrell Hernandez with a swing and miss to give Max Schumann a left-handed hit, but he struck out Daz Cameron with three changeups and gave up no runs.
In the fourth inning, Miguel Andujar allowed a left-handed hit after two outs, and then handled Shei Langelius with a ground ball to the third base to lightly block the inning. In the fifth inning, Tyler Nevin, Gelloff, and Hernaiz were overwhelmed with a fly ball to center field and back-to-back rookie strikeouts, respectively.
However, he allowed one run first in the sixth inning when the tight balance of 0-0 continued. Snell, who gave up a left-handed hit to Cameron and a right-handed hit to Brent Rooker after one out, caught JJ Bliday with a ground ball to the second base and was driven to the first and third bases with two outs, and threw a 96-mile fastball to Andujar to the high course in the middle and was hit with a right-handed hit.
When San Francisco tied the score with Eliot Ramos' solo home run over the middle of the seventh inning, Snell allowed a heavy hit to Nevin after one out in the bottom of the seventh inning and consecutive walks to Geloff and Hernaiz, but he struck out Schumann and grounded Cameron to second base to end the inning without a run.
San Francisco scored three runs in the top of the 10th inning with Gerra Encarnissian's two-run home run to the middle and Michael Confoto's superior solo home run.
