Willy Adames and Patrick Bailey hit home runs, Joel Peguero and Ryan Walker pitched out of late jams and the San Francisco Giants made it two straight over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks with a 5-3 victory on Tuesday. Robbie Ray remained unbeaten against his former team with a third consecutive win, combining with four relievers on an eight-hitter as the Giants (74-71) won for the 13th time in the past 16 games. San Francisco trails the New York Mets (76-69) by two games for the final National League wild card.

The Giants poked fun at the 'Phillies Karen' scandal after a home run incident at their own ballpark - which had a much happier ending. On Friday night, a Phillies fan at the Marlins' LoanDepot Park went viral for all the wrong reasons as she bullied a man into handing over a home run ball he'd snagged for his son and claimed it belonged to her. The male fan, Drew Feltwell, was forced to take the ball away from his son and later explained to NBC 10 Philadelphia that he had secured the item ahead of the boy's 10th birthday.

Camera operators have learned by this point. When the Giants orchestrate a big moment, it's best practice to pan to Drew Gilbert. Gilbert, acquired in the trade that sent Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets in July, has brought a fervent, unparalleled energy to San Francisco, a college-like intensity seldom seen in the majors.

What more can you say about the San Francisco Giants in 2025, other than to say they might be the most resilient team in Major League Baseball right now? After seemingly being out of contention, the club has risen and fired back, climbing to within just three games out of the National League playoffs. In many ways, the team is sort of like Rocky Balboa; you can beat them, but you won't break them. Following a strong outing from starter Logan Webb and some formidable fireworks flying from the 'Frisco bats, the team got a decisive victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, 11-5.

The New York Mets (76-68), San Francisco Giants (73-71) and Cincinnati Reds (72-72) are fighting for one spot with 18 games each left.

The Giants used a season-best five home runs to post an 11-5 win in the series opener Monday. The victory allowed San Francisco to move 1 1/2 games ahead of the Diamondbacks for third place in the National League West. Both teams trail the New York Mets in the race for the final wild-card berth in the National League. Gallen, acquired from Miami for Jazz Chisholm Jr. on July 31, 2019, and Ray, who left Arizona 13 months later when traded to Toronto for Travis Bergen, helped the Diamondbacks nearly make a playoff berth in 2019, when the club finished second in the NL West with 85 wins.

Logan Webb reached a new MLB career milestone in his latest start on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants homered for the first time in 20 days and finished with three hits to help his team beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 on Monday. The 27-year-old center fielder went 3 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs scored at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Lee gave the Giants an early spark in the second inning when he drove a 74-mile-per-hour curveball from right-hander Nabil Crismatt over the right field wall for a two-run shot. It was Lee's eighth homer of the season and the 10th of his MLB career.

The Giants hosted a home run derby, and rigged the results.

Christian Koss and Heliot Ramos each drove in two runs in a five-run sixth inning, Jung Ho Lee collected three hits, including a home run, and the San Francisco Giants outlasted the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 in the opener of a three-game series Monday night. Logan Webb made his 30th start of the season a winning one, limiting the Diamondbacks to one earned run (four total) in six innings as the Giants won for the seventh time in their last eight home games.

The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants found themselves in the same position entering Monday's series opener at Oracle Park: clubs that sold at the trade deadline and have caught a tailwind to keep their playoff hopes alive into September. Arizona was 21-14 since Aug. 1, while San Francisco earned an 11-3 record in its last 14 games. Monday provided an opportunity to make up ground, as the New York Mets (third National League Wild Card team) lost their third straight game. The Giants took advantage with an 11-5 comeback victory, as the Diamondbacks fumbled their second straight game despite taking an early lead. San Francisco moved to three games back from a postseason spot, while

The Cincinnati Reds dropped their series opener to the San Diego Padres and now trail the Giants and Mets for an NL wild-card spot.

With a smack of his glove and swift stride back to the dugout, Logan Webb celebrated a new career milestone. Four runs were already on his pitching line and a potential fifth was standing on third with two outs in the fifth, as Arizona's No. 5 hitter, Adrian Del Castillo, stepped into the box. The count ran full, and Webb fired a changeup on the outside corner that darted away from the left-handed batter. Strike three, the 200th of the season for the ground-ball savant turned strikeout artist.

The Giants' winning streak was snapped in St. Louis, but they still believe they're the hottest team in baseball. “I think we are,” manager Bob Melvin said. Opening their penultimate homestand of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Giants sat four games back of the Mets for the wild card spot.
