Heliot Ramos drives in four runs as Giants rally to beat Red Sox 9-5
Heliot Ramos doubled home two runs to highlight San Francisco's decisive seventh inning after an earlier two-run single, and the Giants rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 9-5 on Sunday. Casey Schmitt and Mike Yastrzemski each hit solo home runs in the fifth against Red Sox starter Luis Giolito and Willy Adames connected in the eighth. With Adames and Schmitt each aboard on hits to start the seventh, Tyler Fitzgerald bunted home the tying run to chase reliever Greg Weissert (2-2) and San Francisco went ahead when Red Sox second baseman Romy González missed a routine catch on Yastrzemski's liner off Justin Wilson. Rob Refsnyder hit a two-run homer in the fifth and González homered one out later for the Red Sox, then the Giants cleared the fences twice in the bottom half to tie the game at 4. Ceddanne Rafaela homered in the sixth for Boston. After the Red Sox went ahead in the first on a fielding error by Ramos in left field, he delivered with the single in the third. Thousands of fans from the sellout crowd of 40,350 lined up more than three hours before first pitch to receive a Jung Hoo Lee giveaway jersey. Giants lefty Robbie Ray struck out seven and walked one over five innings, allowing three earned runs and eight hits. Erik Miller (4-0) pitched the seventh for the win. Key moment Boston's Jarren Duran and manager Alex Cora were ejected in the eighth after Duran argued a tag call at second base that had been upheld on replay review. Duran singled to right and was out at second on a throw by Yastrzemski to shortstop Adames. Duran, visibly shown swearing, was tossed by second base umpire Doug Eddings as the outfielder walked toward the dugout. He then turned around and tried to approach Eddings before being held back. Cora rushed out to argue and also was ejected. Key stat The Giants improved to a majors-best 15-2 in home day games. They have hit 44 home runs in afternoon contests this year. Up next RHP Walker Buehler (5-5, 5.95 ERA) pitches for Boston in Monday's series opener in Anaheim against the Angels. The Giants have a day off Monday before RHP Justin Verlander (0-4, 4.45) tries again Tuesday for his first victory.

MLB roundup: Giants score on wild pitch to edge Braves in 10th
June 7 - Tyler Fitzgerald, who was picked off to end the ninth inning, raced home as the 10th-inning automatic runner on a two-out, two-strike wild pitch by Atlanta Braves reliever Pierce Johnson, giving the host San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory on Friday. After Spencer Bivens stranded the bases loaded in the top of the 10th, Fitzgerald advanced from second to third on Jung Hoo Lee's grounder that resulted in the inning's second out. Fitzgerald then dashed to the plate when Braves catcher Sean Murphy couldn't track down Johnson's errant curveball in the dirt. Bivens (2-2) was credited with the win, the Giants' third straight. The Braves, who rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to force extra innings, dropped their fifth straight. Johnson (1-2) took the loss. Yankees 9, Red Sox 6 Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-out, three-run homer in a five-run first inning off Walker Buehler for host New York, which raced out to a big lead and earned a victory over Boston in the first meeting of the season between the rivals. Chisholm added an RBI single in the third and is now 5-for-7 lifetime in the regular season against Buehler. He finished with three hits and is 8-for-16 in four games since returning Tuesday from a 28-game absence due to an oblique strain. Anthony Volpe hit a two-run homer in the first but left the game with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a changeup in the second. A 2024 World Series hero for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Buehler (4-4) was tagged for seven runs -- five earned -- on seven hits in two innings. Marcelo Mayer hit his first career homer in the fifth and Rafael Devers slugged a two-run drive in the seventh for the Red Sox, who lost for the ninth time in 12 games. Athletics 5, Orioles 4 Jacob Wilson recorded three hits and two RBIs, Denzel Clarke made a spectacular catch and Mason Miller posted a five-out save to help the Athletics notch a victory over Baltimore at West Sacramento, Calif. Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker each had two hits and one RBI to help the Athletics win their second straight game after losing 20 of their previous 21 outings. Jackson Holliday homered among three hits and Dylan Carlson also went deep for Baltimore, which had a season-best six-game winning streak snapped. Rays 4, Marlins 3 Zack Littell won in his sixth straight decision, Jonathan Aranda had two RBIs and red-hot Tampa Bay edged visiting Miami. Littell (6-5) allowed one run on six hits. Aranda was 2-for-4 and Junior Caminero added two doubles. Taylor Walls (double), Curtis Mead (stolen base) and Matt Thaiss (RBI) had two hits apiece from the bottom of the order. The Rays improved to 13-3 since May 20 while climbing to a season-best five games over .500. Miami's Agustin Ramirez was 3-for-4 with a solo home run and Otto Lopez hit a two-run homer. Edward Cabrera (2-2) surrendered three runs (one earned) on six hits over four innings in the Marlins' fifth straight loss. Nationals 2, Rangers 0 Michael Soroka threw six scoreless innings and Alex Call homered to propel Washington over visiting Texas. Soroka (3-3) allowed just two hits while striking out seven and walking one. Kyle Finnegan secured his 18th save of the season. Robert Hassell III drove in the game's first run in the second inning and Call doubled the lead in the seventh with his first home run of the year. Patrick Corbin (3-5) -- a former Nationals pitcher -- threw an eight-inning complete game, allowing two earned runs on five hits. Adolis Garcia and Josh Smith each tallied a hit for the Rangers, who dropped their fourth straight game. Astros 4, Guardians 2 Christian Walker's two-run double highlighted a three-run fifth inning and Colton Gordon allowed one run over five innings for his first major league win in Houston's victory over Cleveland. Jeremy Pena extended his hitting streak to 12 games with his second consecutive three-hit contest and Brendan Rodgers clubbed his first homer of 2025 for the Astros, who have won nine of 12. David Fry clubbed his first homer of the season for one of his two hits and Jose Ramirez extended his on-base streak to 32 games for the Guardians, who have dropped seven of 11. Tigers 3, Cubs 1 Tarik Skubal pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, Spencer Torkelson hit the go-ahead homer and Detroit downed Chicago to open a three-game interleague series. In a matchup of AL and NL Central first-place teams, Skubal (6-2) allowed one run while scattering eight hits. Will Vest got the last four outs for his 10th save. Jahmai Jones, just called up from Triple-A Toledo, also homered for Detroit. Gleyber Torres added an RBI single. Kyle Tucker had two hits and drove in the lone Chicago run. Diamondbacks-Reds suspended Visiting Arizona and Cincinnati were tied 3-3 after six innings in the opener of their three-game series when the game was suspended due to rain. The contest will resume at 2:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, and the regularly scheduled game will begin 40 minutes following the end of the suspended game, but not prior to the regularly scheduled time of 4:10 p.m ET. Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo hit back-to-back homers in the three-run third inning while Tim Tawa had two hits and a run for Arizona, which has won four in a row. TJ Friedl and Christian Encarnacion-Strand homered while Jose Trevino and Encarnacion-Strand had two hits apiece for the Reds, who have lost four of five. Blue Jays 6, Twins 4 George Springer and Addison Barger homered as Toronto rallied for a win over Minnesota.

Trevor Larnach homered for Minnesota. Royce Lewis collected three hits, and Lewis, Christian Vazquez and Kody Clemens each knocked in a run. Pirates 5, Phillies 4 Nick Gonzales' sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth scored Adam Frazier and lifted Pittsburgh to a comeback win over Philadelphia in a game that began late following a one-hour, 23-minute rain delay. Gonzales' walk-off RBI secured the Pirates their first win over Philadelphia this season. The Phillies played without Bryce Harper, who was not in the lineup due to a sore right wrist. Padres 2, Brewers 0 Manny Machado homered and five pitchers combined on a four-hitter as visiting San Diego opened a three-game series against Milwaukee.

Martin Maldonado had two hits for San Diego, which has won four of its last six games. Milwaukee lost for just the second time in its last 11 games. The Brewers were shut out for the seventh time this season while going 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position with 10 runners left on base. White Sox 7, Royals 2 Luis Robert Jr. blooped a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning among his two hits and three RBIs and Mike Tauchman homered to lift Chicago to a win against visiting Kansas City. Chicago used a five-run eighth inning to break the game open and pick up its third win in four games, later capitalizing on a wild pitch and two errors. Jordan Leasure (1-4) pitched a scoreless eighth to pick up the win. Losing pitcher Jonathan Bowlan (1-1) allowed five runs (three earned) and two hits and four walks in 1 1/3 innings. Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino connected on back-to-back homers to put the visitors ahead 2-1.

Mets 4, Rockies 2 Francisco Lindor hit a two-out, two-run double in the ninth inning, Juan Soto had three hits and New York beat Colorado in Denver. Lindor, who wasn't in the starting lineup due to a fractured toe, pinch-hit in the ninth with Soto and Pete Alonso on base.

Starling Marte had two hits, Ryne Stanek (2-4) picked up the win and Edwin Diaz earned his 14th save. Mickey Moniak homered and finished with two hits and Ryan Ritter tripled in his major league debut for Colorado, which had its three-game winning streak stopped. Angels 5, Mariners 4 Nolan Schanuel's RBI single in the fifth inning gave Los Angeles its first lead, and three scoreless innings by the bullpen finished off a victory over Seattle in Anaheim, Calif. Travis d'Arnaud had two hits, including a two-run homer, and Chris Taylor singled, doubled and drove in a run to lead the Angels' offense, helping give starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks the 100th victory of his career. Hendricks (3-6) yielded four runs on eight hits in six innings. The Angels got one hitless inning apiece from Ryan Zeferjahn, Reid Detmers and Kenley Jansen (13th save). Starter Bryce Miller (2-5) permitted five runs on six hits and a walk in five innings for Seattle, which led 1-0, 3-1 and 4-3 but squandered each lead. --Field Level Media

Giants beat the slumping Braves 5-4 in 10 innings on a wild pitch
Tyler Fitzgerald scored on a wild pitch by Pierce Johnson with two outs in the 10th inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Friday night for their third straight win. After getting picked off first to end the ninth, Fitzgerald began the 10th on second base. He advanced to third on a one-groundout and then scored when Johnson (1-2) threw a 1-2 pitch to the backstop, sending the Braves to their fifth straight loss. Spencer Bivens (2-2) came on with the bases loaded in the 10th and got Luke Williams on a groundout to end the inning for the win. Craig Kimbrel, the Braves' career leader in saves, made his first appearance for Atlanta since the 2014 season when he entered the game in the seventh. He allowed a leadoff single to Heliot Ramos, but got bailed out when Sean Murphy threw out Ramos trying to steal second to keep it tied at 4. Kimbrel then walked Jung Hoo Lee, but picked him off first and then struck out Wilmer Flores to get out of the inning. The Giants' struggling offense produced three runs in the first with help from two errors by Atlanta and a run-scoring wild pitch thrown by Spencer Schwellenbach. San Francisco led 4-2 before the Braves tied it in the seventh when Matt Olson hit a two-run homer off reliever Ryan Walker. Key moment There was an odd moment in the fourth inning when Murphy hit a sacrifice fly to right with the bases loaded for Atlanta. Olson easily beat the throw by Mike Yastrzemski, but there was confusion because a ball had been thrown on the field by a fan in the stands. The umpires huddled to discuss it, but let the play stand. Key stat Both teams played their 26th one-run game, tied for the most in the majors. The Giants improved to 14-12 in those games and the Braves fell to 9-17. Up next RHP Bryce Elder (2-3, 4.56 ERA) will start the middle game of the series for Atlanta against RHP Logan Webb (5-5, 2.55).

What we learned as Giants outlast Braves in thrilling extra-inning win
What we learned as Giants outlast Braves in thrilling extra-inning win originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area BOX SCORE SAN FRANCISCO – Talk about a crazy way to get a walk-off win. Tyler Fitzgerald scored on a two-out wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Giants a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves at Oracle Park on Friday night. It was a wacky but fitting end to a game during which the Giants flipped the tables on just about everything they had been doing this season. Advertisement San Francisco's pitching, which has shouldered the bulk of the load this season, suffered through a tough evening as starter Hayden Birdsong struggled with his command and normally reliable reliever Ryan Walker was tagged for a momentum-changing home run by Braves slugger Matt Olson in the seventh inning. Conversely, Camilo Doval shook off a month's worth of ups and downs and struck out the side in the ninth inning. Things were a little more encouraging at the plate, too. With a history of failing to generate much offense this season, San Francisco opened with three runs in the first inning against Atlanta, the second-most runs put up in the opening frame by the Giants this season. Leadoff hitter Heliot Ramos had three hits and scored a run. Wilmer Flores also had two hits and scored twice. Fan favorite Jung Hoo Lee reached base three times (single, two walks) and Dominic Smith drove in two runs. Advertisement Birdsong's fourth start since being taken out of the bullpen didn't go very far, primarily due to a heavy pitch count. The Braves were patient at the plate, forcing Birdsong deep into counts which quickly depleted him on the mound. Birdsong allowed just two hits and two runs to go with five strikeouts before his night ended in the middle of the fifth inning. Tristan Beck followed Birdsong and retired four batters before Ryan Walker took over. Walker got Ronald Acuna Jr. to strike out swinging to end the sixth then ran into immediate trouble in the seventh. Austin Riley singled leading off the inning before Olson crushed an 0-1 slider over the brick wall in right field to tie the game at 4-4. Advertisement The game was paused briefly in the fourth inning when someone in the stands threw a baseball onto the field at the same time the Braves scored a run on Michael Harris II's RBI single. Here are the takeaways from Friday's game: Let's Get It Started The Giants' offensive struggles over the past month have been well-documented, which made their first inning against the Braves impressive. San Francisco began the inning with three consecutive singles, with Wilmer Flores' bloop hit to right driving in Heliot Ramos. Dominic Smith added a sacrifice fly and Flores later scored on a wild pitch. It's the third time this season that the Giants have put up three runs or more in the first inning. Their season-high for runs in the first inning is five, which they put up against the New York Yankees in a six-inning rain-shortened game on April 11. Hayden's Control Issues For most of the season Birdsong has done a fine job of not giving up free passes but the right-hander wasn't able to sustain that against the Braves, which wound up being a big reason for his early exit after 4 1/3 innings. Advertisement Birdsong missed his target much of the night, throwing only 52 of 93 pitches for strikes, while matching his career-high of five walks. To put that in perspective, Birdsong had given up 12 walks all season and just four in his previous five starts. Baserunning Blunders The Giants did a solid job of getting men on base. Keeping them there was another matter altogether and a big reason that the Orange and Black went quiet over the final half of the game. Heliot Ramos singled leading off the eight but was thrown out trying to steal second base. The following batter, Lee, drew a walk but was promptly erased after being picked off by Braves reliever Craig Kimbrel. In the eighth, Fitzgerald reached on a two-out single but was picked off by Braves pitcher Pierce Johnson. Advertisement For a team that has struggled to score this season, the Giants have no reason to let up in situations like that. Rhose mistakes were magnified in a game this close.
