Giants catcher Bailey makes history with game-ending, inside-the-park home run
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patrick Bailey's entrance into the Major League Baseball record books on Tuesday night began with a tight swing that sent a fastball from Phillies reliever Jordan Romano into Triples Alley. It ended with Bailey chugging his way around third base then getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit a game-ending, inside-the-park home run. The three-run shot had an exit velocity of 103.4 mph and bounced off the brick wall at the Giants waterfront ballpark. It ricocheted back toward center field as Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh gave chase. Bailey said his initial thought was to get a triple before he saw third base coach Matt Williams waving him in. 'Off the ball I just knew I got it well,' Bailey said. 'I saw it was towards Triples Alley and I was like, 'Oh I gotta go. I at least gotta get to third.' Once I saw the bounce, I was like 'All right, just don't fall over.' ' It's the ninth time this season that the Giants have won in their final at-bat, tops in the majors. It was also the first time in nearly nine years that a player has hit a walk-off, inside-the-park home run in the majors. Cleveland's Tyler Naquin was the last to do so on Aug. 19, 2016. The three-run home run lifted the Giants to a 4-3 victory that had the Oracle Park crowd roaring as Bailey crossed the plate. 'He has gotten some big hits this year,' Giants manager Bob Melvin said. 'In big situations he's come through. Not as much as he would like. Hopefully that's something that catapults him. Haven't seen him drive a ball like that in a while.' Bailey couldn't recall if he had previously hit an inside-the-park home run at any level. And as nice as this one was, Bailey said that he would have preferred to hit a regular home run. 'Tired,' Bailey said when asked how he felt. 'I wished it would have gone over the fence.' ___ AP MLB:

Giants' Robbie Ray gets complete-game win over D-backs
July 4 - Robbie Ray dominated Thursday, tossing his second career complete game to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 7-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The left-hander retired the first 12 batters he faced, gave up only three hits, a walk and struck out seven. Ray (9-3) needed just 102 pitches to go the distance. Beating his old team gave Ray his first win since June 5 and helped the Giants salvage a split in the four-game series. Willy Adames scored three runs and doubled twice as part of a 3-for-4 night with a walk and an RBI. Helios Ramos went 2-for-5 and drove in two runs. Mike Yastrzemski finished 3-for-5 with a run scored as the Giants won for their second straight after losing seven of their previous eight. Rafael Devers plated three over the final three innings, the most he's had since coming to the Giants from Boston on June 15. Brandon Pfaadt (8-6) gave up four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. His eight strikeouts set a season high, but two tough innings led to the loss. Eugenio Suarez and Ketel Marte homered for the Diamondbacks, who have lost six of their last eight games. The Giants pounced on Pfaadt early thanks to walks to Adames and Devers. Adames scored on Ramos' double, with Devers getting home on Lee's sacrifice fly to deep center. Pfaadt needed 26 pitches to escape the first inning. Meanwhile, Ray used only 27 over the first three. San Francisco's top of the order put another two up in the third. Adames doubled off the wall in center that scored Yastrzemski, who singled to lead off the inning, from first. An out later, he scored on Ramos' single. The Diamondbacks finally got to Ray when Suarez homered to left leading off the fifth. That hit did not faze Ray, who got the next three batters out on just six pitches. He threw just 78 pitches through eight innings before giving up Marte's homer in the ninth and a walk to Geraldo Perdomo. --Field Level Media

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. Key moment: 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. Key stat: 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).
