If anyone on the San Francisco Giants needed a breakout game, then it surely was Heliot Ramos.
Ramos slammed a three-run home run in the second inning, keying a six-outburst as the Giants defeated the Washington Nationals 10-5 on Friday night.
Giants starter Logan Webb evened his season record at 2-2, going six innings, giving up seven hits, four runs (all earned), walked two, and struck out six. Nationals starter Zack Littell gave up eight runs (all earned) and 11 hits in getting the loss.
Well, let's break down that second inning.
Ramos, of course, hit his three-run homer on a 1-2 pitch. Casey Schmitt and Jung Hoo Lee scored ahead of Ramos and San Francisco was up 3-0. With the Giants tacking on three more runs, they built up a 6-0 advantage over Washington.
Leading 6-1 in the fourth, Drew Gilbert hit his first homer this season, a solo blast, and the Giants moved on up to a 7-1 advantage. They tacked on another run in the inning and lead 8-1 entering the bottom of the fourth.
But the Nationals' Daylen Lile smoked a two-run homer, his first home run this season, and Washington inched closer to 8-3.
Schmitt, in the top of the seventh, hit his second homer this season -- another solo blast -- and that gave the Giants a 9-4 advantage. The Nationals, though, didn't go right away. James Wood hit his sixth home run this season, a solo shot, and Washington inched closer to 9-5.
