Overview
- The Giants snapped a five-game losing streak with a 7-6 extra-innings victory over the Angels on Friday night when Rafael Devers hit a ground-rule double that scored the automatic runner for the walk-off.
- Devers opened the game with a two-run home run and Casey Schmitt added a three-run shot in the third to give San Francisco a 5-1 lead early.
- Logan Webb lasted six innings and allowed four runs, while Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez exited after four innings after surrendering five runs, underscoring continued starter struggles for both clubs.
- Reserve outfielder Grant McCrary made a key defensive play in the late innings by catching a fly and throwing for an inning-ending out that preserved the Giants' chance to win in extras.
- Under the extra-innings automatic-runner rule only the runner started at second scored on Devers' hit, the victory boosted the Giants' offense — with Devers and Schmitt each reaching 21 homers — but it also kept attention on shaky pitching and bullpen depth as the teams begin the interleague series.
