San Francisco Giants Legend Soaks Up Spotlight With Country Star Morgan Wallen
Morgan Wallen, who put on his first of two shows in Santa Clara on Friday night, pulled out all the stops to get Levi's Stadium on its feet. The top-selling country artist made sure to play to the crowd, entering the venue alongside two icons of San Francisco sports. Wallen had former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young on his right and former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds on his left as he prepared for his first show of the weekend, with all three greeting the rowdy crowd on the big screen. Bonds played for the Giants from 1993 through 2007.
Kai-Wei Teng, Giants bullpen brace for rematch vs. Mets
Two teams whose new-look bullpens underwent a trial by fire in the series opener will get a rematch on Saturday afternoon when San Francisco Giants vie for a second consecutive road win over the New York Mets. Promoted Friday in the wake of the Giants having traded two pitchers at the deadline, Kai-Wei Teng will make his big-league season debut Saturday against fellow Asia native Kodai Senga (7-3, 2.00 ERA) in a matchup of right-handers. After both teams reshaped their bullpens with trades -- San Francisco mainly subtracting, New York primarily adding -- the Giants and Mets each put four relievers to work Friday, including one pitcher each who wasn't with the team when the clubs met last week in San Francisco.
Slumping Mets slugger showing 'good signs' of breaking out
Mets slugger Pete Alonso was riding an 0-for-18 streak when he stepped up to the plate for his third at-bat against San Francisco Giants starter Robbie Ray. “I think for me, when I get out of my plan, I'm chasing off speed,” Alonso said after Friday's 4-3 loss to the Giants. Then, with the Mets trailing 3-0 in the seventh inning, Alonso felt confident in his previous at-bats against Ray.

Mets lose to Giants after Dominic Smith’s go-ahead hit vs. Edwin Diaz in 10th
So often throughout his career in Queens, the Mets turned to José Buttó to pitch an important inning or to work out of a jam. But in a moment of MLB surrealism, Buttó took the mound against the Mets, not for them, during a crucial moment Friday night at Citi Field. Traded to the Giants just two days earlier, Buttó entered in the eighth inning with runners at the corners, one out and San ...
Mike Yastrzemski homers in his first at bat with Royals after they acquired him at trade deadline
Mike Yastrzemski made quite the early impression on his new teammates by homering in his first plate appearance with the Kansas City Royals on Friday, a day after they acquired him from the San Francisco Giants. Yastrzemski hit a 370-foot blast over the wall in right-center field while facing Kevin Gausman in the second inning of the Royals’ game against the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays.

Despite selling at deadline, SF Giants maintain goal of making playoffs
QUEENS — The Giants are, objectively, a worse team now than they were at the beginning of the week. Camilo Doval is a Yankee . Tyler Rogers is a Met . Mike Yastrzemski is a Royal. Taking their places on the active roster are right-handers José Buttó and Kai-Wei Teng, who will start on Saturday, as well as outfielder Grant McCray. Additionally, infielder Christian Koss returned from his rehab assignment and fellow infielder Brett Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. If the Giants didn't lose 13 of their last 15 games before the deadline and drop below .500 for the first time all season, president of baseball operations Buster Posey would've been in the business of buying. Instead, he sold.
