The Giants erased a four-run deficit for the second consecutive game, something the club hadn’t done since 1998.
Heliot Ramos #17 of the San Francisco Giants reacts as he rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning during the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on May 23, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A three-run blast from Chapman into the shrubbery beyond center field ignited an eighth-inning rally that resulted in five runs, with the knockout blow coming from Brett Wisely, who delivered a two-out single from the No. 9 hole to drive home the go-ahead run. Before the past two days, the Giants had not won a game they were trailing by five or more runs since June 15, 2021, when they erased a 9-0 deficit against the Diamondbacks. And on Tuesday, to begin the series, they blew a four-run lead in the ninth inning for the first time since Aug. 14, 2020, against the A’s.
Right off the bat, the Giants did more damage against Skenes than the last team that faced the former No. 1 overall pick in last summer’s amateur draft. “There’s always next year,” said the outfielder sidelined since he strained his left hamstring running to first base May 11.
