2018: If the lines were decent at the concessions, you could have gone up there after the first pitch to Brandon Belt and not missed his at-bat. But he'd come back later in the game to hit a home run for the fourth consecutive game, helping the Giants to a 4-2 victory.

Wilmer Flores hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the sixth, Jung Hoo Lee added an RBI triple the next inning as fans chanted his name, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on Monday night. Flores connected off Grant Anderson (1-1) with two outs. Caleb Durbin hit his first career home run with a two-run drive in the first against San Francisco starter Robbie Ray, who allowed two runs and five hits.

Two teams that got an opportunity to show off shiny toys out of their bullpen in the series opener go head-to-head again on Tuesday when the San Francisco Giants look for a second straight win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Robbie Ray and Hayden Birdsong combined to limit the Brewers to two runs in eight innings Monday, but much of the talk among the Giants afterward focused on Camilo Doval's seven-pitch, 1-2-3 ninth inning. Coincidentally, Doval's splashy finish came immediately following the highly anticipated major league debut of the Brewers' Craig Yoho in the bottom of the eighth.

Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead home run, Jung Hoo Lee tripled home an insurance run, and same cast that has powered the Giants' strong start to the season carried them to 5-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers to begin their homestand Monday night. The score was tied at 2 when Flores launched a first-pitch sinker from Grant Anderson deep into the left-field bleachers with two outs in the seventh. “The RBIs that Flo has come up with, it's when he does them that's so impressive,” manager Bob Melvin said.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt has a Grade 2 left oblique strain and is expected to miss at least a month. Schmitt, injured in a batting cage during a weekend road series with the Los Angeles Angels that landed him on the 10-day injured list, is scheduled to be re-evaluated again at the end of this homestand this weekend. The 26-year-old Schmitt has played seven of his nine games at first base after changing positions this year.

The San Francisco Giants are off to a tremendous start this season in terms of their record within baseball's most competitive division. While the offense has been better than expected, the starting rotation -- which was seen entering the year as a major weakness -- has been the issue that many predicted it would be. As a staff, the starters have a collective ERA that places the Giants outside the top-20 in all of baseball. When San Francisco signed Hicks prior to the 2024 season on a four-year deal worth $44 million, he had made a total of just eight starts during his five MLB seasons to that point.

Willy Adames was all smiles catching up with old teammates before the Giants hosted his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers, on Monday. It was the same joyous demeanor the shortstop has displayed so far with his new club, even if he hasn't played up to the seven-year, $182 million contract he signed with San Francisco. The Giants have started hot but mostly done so in spite of their new franchise shortstop. “Performing is not going to change the way I play the game,” Adames said from his locker in the Giants' home clubhouse.

Over the weekend, the Giants placed the versatile Casey Schmitt on the injured list with what was described as an oblique injury. The news was first reported by Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Schmitt sustained the injury while hitting in the batting cage before a game over the weekend. With a slash line of .174/.208/.261 with two RBI and just four hits on the year, Schmitt has had a hard time replicating some of the success he saw in his minor breakout 2024 season.
