Patrick Bailey's clutch 2-run triple lifts Giants over White Sox, 3-1
Patrick Bailey hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the sixth inning and the San Francisco Giants ended a three-game skid with a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Landon Roupp (6-5) won his second straight start and third out of his last four after giving up an unearned run and seven hits with four strikeouts and a pair of walks in 5 1/3 innings. Bailey laced the decisive hit down the right-field line off reliever Tyler Alexander (4-8) to break a 1-all tie. Camilo Doval worked the ninth for his 13th save. San Francisco was swept at home by Miami earlier in the week and began a 10-game road trip having lost eight of their last 11 games. The AL-worst White Sox have lost 12 of 15. Chicago got the game's first run when Chase Meidroth came home on a first-inning throwing error. The Giants knotted the score on Wilmer Flores' RBI double in the third. White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale, making his first home start since arriving in a mid-month trade with Milwaukee, gave up a run, three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in four innings. Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the fourth and fifth innings but came up empty each time. Roupp escaped by inducing a double play in the fourth and delivered a strikeout and an easy popup to end the fifth. The White Sox came into the game as the worst team in the majors with men in scoring position and stayed that way on Friday night. They went 1 for 8 in such at-bats against the Giants to drop to .210 (130 for 620). The Giants send LHP Robbie Ray (8-2, 2.83 ERA) against RHP Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.27) when the series continues on Saturday.

Red Sox reactions: Rally falls short as costly error, weak offense prove too much to overcome
SAN FRANCISCO — Rapid reactions from the Red Sox' 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. 1) The Red Sox avoided being shutout for the second time in their last four games when they rallied in the ninth, stringing together three consecutive hits against Giants closer Camilo Doval, then capitalizing on a stolen base and a throwing error by catcher Andrew Knizner. The ninth also marked the first time all day that the Sox had gotten a baserunner past second base and they had the potential tying run on first base in the the final inning. But the rally wasn't enough to overcome a three-run deficit. Advertisement 2) You just knew that Rafael Devers would, at some point in this series, hit his first homer as a Giant. It seemed predestined. I knew it, you knew, the American people knew it. Sure enough, with a runner on in the third inning, it happened as Devers connected on a 1-0 four-seamer on the outer half of the plate and drove it out to left. Devers doesn't have The Wall for which to aim here, but he does have a rather inviting area with the left field seats at Oracle Park. That it came off Brayan Bello, a fellow Dominican and, of course, former teammate, also seemed somehow fitting. 3) Brayan Bello couldn't quite match his outing from last Sunday, when he turned in what was arguably the best start of big league career — seven shutout innings against the Yankees, with eight strikeouts. Still, he deserved a better fate Saturday. He made two mistakes, one each to each of the Giants' biggest home run threats. Heliot Ramos gpt him with a solo shot in the first; Devers connected off him in the third. Of the three runs he surrendered, only one was earned. But because the Sox could do little offensively, he was stuck with a tough-luck loss, even as he gave the Sox at least six innings for the fourth straight outing. 4) San Francisco starter Landen Roupp was hardly a flame-thrower, but his mix of a cutter, curve and changeup managed to keep the Red Sox off balance all afternoon. Through the first five innings, the Red Sox managed just two hits and both were singles. 5) David Hamilton is prized for his defense. It's what's kept him in the big leagues for the last few seasons. But on Saturday, for the second game in a row in this series, he made a highly costly error. On Friday night, he mishandled a grounder in the first inning, leading to the Giants' first run. On Saturday, it happened again as he flubbed a chance on a ball hit by San Francisco catcher Andrew Knizner. That proved especially problematic two batters later when Devers went deep with a two-run homer, scoring Knizner ahead of him. Advertisement 6) There are going to be days like Saturday for this Red Sox lineup, when they lack the quick-strike capability of a long ball or the ability to stretch together a string of hits to build a rally. It puts more pressure on the pitching staff and makes it essential that the Sox catch the ball and not give away outs to the opponent. On Saturday, the pitching part was fine, but the offense and defense were both faulty. 7) Roman Anthony has just four hits through the first 11 games of his major league career. That's not terribly surprising, as we've seen all manner of top prospects struggle when they first get to the big leagues. But if you're looking for positive signs, Anthony has been patient at the plate, working a walk Friday night and then adding two more on Saturday while chipping in with a leadoff double in the ninth. He may not be racking up the hits, but he's not getting himself out much, either, by chasing pitches out of the zone. 8) In the series finale between the two teams, the Red Sox will send RHP Lucas Giolito (3-1, 3.74) to the mound, matched against LHP Robbie Ray (8-2, 2.68), traditionally, the owner of the game's tightest uniform pants. Following the game, the Red Sox will head to Anaheim, where they begin a three-game set against the Angels Monday night. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.

Devers homers against his former team to key 3-2 win for the Giants against the Red Sox
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rafael Devers hit his first home run for San Francisco against his former team on Saturday, and the Giants beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 just six days after the big trade between the teams. Devers was acquired from Boston on Sunday. He delivered his first long ball for the Giants in the third inning on Saturday after he went hitless in his first six at-bats in the series. Devers sent an opposite-field drive off Brayan Bello (3-2) over the left-field fence for a two-run shot that happened to be caught by a fan in a Red Sox T-shirt. Devers got loud cheers from the big crowd in San Francisco as he rounded the bases for his 216th career home run that gave San Francisco a 3-0 lead. Devers was traded by Boston less than two years into a 10-year, $313.5 million contract extension that he signed in 2023. Heliot Ramos also homered for the Giants, who won for just the second time in their last seven games. Landen Roupp (5-5) bounced back from a rough start last Saturday against the Dodgers, throwing six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts to earn the win. Camilo Doval allowed two runs in the ninth before getting his 12th save in 15 chances. Boston had won seven of the last eight games. Key moment Boston scored twice in the ninth against Doval and had the tying run on second base with one out. But Doval got Marcelo Mayer and pinch-hitter Romy Gonzalez on groundouts to end the game. Key stat Devers became the 10th player to homer for and against the same team in a seven-day span, according to Sportradar. The last player to do it was Abraham Toro, who homered for Houston against Seattle on July 26, 2021, and then for the Mariners against the Astros the next day. Up next RHP Luis Giolito (3-1, 3.74 ERA) will start for Boston against LHP Robbie Ray (8-2, 2.68 ERA). ___ AP MLB:

Webb's gem, Flores' pinch-hit double help Giants edge Guardians to end 4-game skid
Logan Webb pitched seven splendid innings, pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores delivered a go-ahead double and the San Francisco Giants beat the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 on Thursday to stop a four-game losing streak. Webb (7-5) gave up seven hits but struck out nine. The right-hander did not issue a walk as he lowered his ERA to 2.49. Cleveland starter Gavin Williams held the Giants scoreless through six innings, but San Francisco got to the Guardians' bullpen in the seventh. Casey Schmitt greeted Matt Festa (1-1) with a single to open the inning. Festa walked Jung Hoo Lee before Patrick Bailey laid down a sacrifice bunt.
