J.D. Davis belted Kenley Jansen's first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning over the left field wall, giving the host San Francisco Giants a walk-off, 3-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
Davis' homer, his 14th of the season, came shortly after the Red Sox had scored twice off Giants closer Camilo Doval in the top of the ninth, drawing even on a two-run single by Justin Turner.
The dramatic ending came after Sean Manaea had combined with opener Ryan Walker and set-up reliever Tyler Rogers to take a 2-0 lead into the ninth. Turner followed with a shot up the middle that caromed off second baseman Casey Schmitt's glove and into center field, allowing both baserunners to score to tie the game.
In the sixth, Slater drove in the Giants' second run when, despite being denied of a hit when Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo made a diving stop on a one-hopper, his groundout allowed Marco Luciano to score from third.
