Giants get late heroics again to beat Marlins, win third straight series

What it means

The Giants earned their second come-from-behind win in as many games to finish the homestand 4-2 and win their third series in a row. San Francisco had been 1-13 when its opponent scored first before prevailing the past two games.

Who’s hot

Jung Hoo Lee moved into the leadoff spot for the first time since the opening series of the season and kept on raking with his fourth multi-hit effort of the six-game homestand. The Giants weren’t able to capitalize on his triple off the brick wall in right field to begin the game, but Lee came around to score — the 100th run of his career — after an opposite-field single in the third inning. He led off the seventh with his fourth hit and watched Schmitt’s home run leave the yard as he rounded the bases. Altogether, the Giants outfielders combined to bat .367 over the course of the homestand, with seven extra-base hits, including home runs from Lee, Heliot Ramos and Drew Gilbert. Entering the homestand, San Francisco’s outfielders had been the third-worst group in the majors, measured by FanGraphs WAR.

Who’s not

Willy Adames got his first day off of the season. Together with Monday’s day off in Philadelphia, manager Tony Vitello is hopeful the downtime can snap Adames out of an 0-for-21 funk. San Francisco managed to take four of six games on the homestanddespite getting almost nothing from the three bats expected to anchor the middle of its lineup. Devers’ double that drove in Schmitt and made it 3-2 in the sixth was the first RBI of the entire homestand from himself, Adames or Matt Chapman, who combined to go 8-for-61 (.131) with 23 strikeouts.

Up next

The Giants are off Monday before beginning a six-game road trip against the Phillies and Rays. They took two of three from the Phils when they visited San Francisco earlier this month, kicking off a 10-game losing streak that Philadelphia just snapped out of this weekend.
