SAN FRANCISCO (Interstat) — Willy Adames and Heliot Ramos hit home runs, and Trevor McDonald struck out 10 batters in seven innings to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night at Oracle Park.

Adames opened the game with a two-run home run, his 29th of the season. With two games remaining, he is seeking to become the Giants’ first 30-home run hitter since Barry Bonds in 2004. Every other team in baseball has at least five individual 30-home run seasons since 2005.

Ramos drove in three in the second inning, scoring Jung Hoo Lee and Grant McCray with his 21st home run of the year, staking the Giants to a 5-0 lead.

McDonald (1-0) was dominant early, carrying a shutout into the fifth inning before the Rockies mounted a challenge. The right-hander allowed five hits and three earned runs over his seven innings of work.

Colorado’s offense, which managed just six hits, came to life in the fifth. After Brenton Doyle and Braxton Fulford singled, shortstop Ezequiel Tovar connected for a three-run home run to center field, his ninth of the season, cutting the Giants’ lead to 5-3.

San Francisco responded immediately in the bottom of the fifth. Adames was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on a Matt Chapman single and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bryce Eldridge to restore a three-run cushion.

The Rockies threatened in the eighth when Tovar singled with one out, but Giants reliever Joel Peguero induced a flyout from Hunter Goodman and struck out Blaine Crim to end the inning.

Ryan Walker pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out two, to record his 17th save of the season.

The loss went to Colorado starter Germán Márquez (3-16), who was charged with five runs on five hits over two innings. Jung Hoo Lee had three of San Francisco’s seven hits.

The victory improved the Giants’ record to 79-81, ensuring they will finish the season with a winning percentage of .500 or better. The Rockies fell to 43-117, the worst record in baseball.

The game, played in front of a crowd of 40,048, lasted 2 hours, 26 minutes. The combined score of nine runs went under the pregame over/under line of 8.5. The Giants covered the spread as 1.5-run favorites.

The result defied the projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 3-2 Rockies victory, though the Giants’ ELO system gave San Francisco a 72.3% probability to win.

The two teams will continue their three-game series to close the regular season on Saturday.
