In Denver, the Giants extended their home run streak to
15 consecutive games, the longest for the club since 2001, after an offensive festival that led them to an
8-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
- Rafael Devers opened the scoring with a 411-foot home run and an exit velocity of 114.5 mph, the most powerful in the organization since Statcast began recording data in 2015. It was his 29th home run of the year and the 14th with San Francisco.
- Rookie Drew Gilbert went 4-4 with a two-run homer, adding seven hits in just two games.
- Shortstop Willy Adames closed the afternoon with a two-run homer, his 26th of the season, placing him only four away from becoming the first Giants player with 30 home runs since Barry Bonds in 2007.
With this triumph, San Francisco (69-69) remains in full fight by winning
eight of their last nine games to return to the .500 mark.
In Detroit,
Juan Soto was the main protagonist in the dramatic triumph of the
New York Mets 10-8 over the Tigers. The Dominican hit the second grand slam of his career in the fourth inning, as well as a two-run triple in the sixth.
- Soto finished with six RBIs, tying his personal record set in 2023.
- His 36th home run of the season traveled 419 feet with an exit velocity of 108 mph, confirming his extraordinary moment at the plate after a slow start to the season.
The stellar player from Quisqueya has already accumulated 237 home runs in his career and is solidifying himself as one of the most decisive pieces in the Mets’ offense, who are looking to get closer to the postseason.
The day made it clear that Caribbean power continues to set the pace in Major League Baseball, with the bats of “Devers, Adames and Soto” starring in an impactful afternoon.
