Overview

  • Robbie Ray delivered his second consecutive quality start, allowing two runs over six innings with eight strikeouts
  • Jerar Encarnacion belted a 442-foot homer for his second straight game before leaving with a right hamstring injury that could sideline him for significant time
  • Dominic Smith extended his hitting streak to 11 games by ripping a go-ahead pinch-hit double in the ninth inning
  • San Francisco secured its second straight road series win by taking two of three games against Pittsburgh to close out its East Coast trip
  • With the trade deadline behind them and injuries piling up, the Giants now must rely on internal depth to offset Encarnacion’s absence
