Occupying the top two spots of the Giants’ batting order, Austin Slater and Heliot Ramos teamed up to manufacture all three of their runs.
Heliot Ramos #17 of the San Francisco Giants celebrates his two run home run against the Texas Rangers during the third inning at Globe Life Field on June 8, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. ARLINGTON, Texas — Since losing Jung Hoo Lee and LaMonte Wade Jr., Bob Melvin has been on a quest to find the right combination at the top of the Giants’ lineup, cycling nine different players through the first two spots just in their past 10 games.
Leading off against the lefty Andrew Heaney, Slater reached safely each of his first two times to the plate and didn’t spend much time on the bases. Both times, he was promptly driven in by Ramos, who laced a 106-mph double into left field in his first at-bat and launched his sixth home run of the season his second time up.
His six home runs are tied for fifth on the team, despite playing in 15 fewer games than anybody even or ahead of him.
