SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Rafael Devers homered in his first at-bat and hit a
walk-off, two-run single in the 10th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a
7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
Casey Schmitt also homered and Luis Arraez had two hits to help the Giants end
a five-game losing streak. They rallied after blowing leads of 5-1 and 6-4.
Bryce Eldridge doubled, walked and scored twice while Drew Gilbert added two
hits for the Giants.
Vaughn Grissom had two hits for the Angels, including a tying two-run home run
in the eighth inning.
Pinch-runner Jesus Rodriguez began the 10th at second base and advanced to
third on Arraez's soft single to left. After Heliot Ramos grounded out, Bryce
Eldridge walked before Devers hit a deep fly to left off Chase Silseth (3-2)
that bounced on the warning track and landed in the stands.
Devers' winning hit came moments after the Giants got a big defensive play out
of center fielder Grant McCrary in the top of the 10th.
McCrary, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the ninth, caught Wade
Meckler's fly ball in the top of the ninth then made a strong throw to third to
get Grissom for an inning-ending double play.
Caleb Kilian (3-6) retired three batters for the victory.
San Francisco's walk-off win came after the Giants bullpen spoiled Logan Webb's
chance at winning for the first time in nearly a month. Webb allowed four runs
and six hits with four strikeouts and two walks in six innings.
Devers got San Francisco going with an opposite field two-run home run in the
first inning. Schmitt added a three-run blast in the third after the Angels
issued a two-out intentional walk to Devers.
Both home runs came against Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez.
