The Giants got homers from Matt Chapman, LaMonte Wade Jr. and Tyler Fitzgerald to earn their first road series win since July 2-4.
Matt Chapman #26 of the San Francisco gestures to the Giants dugout after hittin a 2RBI home run in the fourth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Aug. 04, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Giants needed to start racking up series wins, and they would have to do so on the road, where they have played the fifth-worst baseball of any team this season.
The home run was Wade’s fourth of the season and his first since July 2, a 19-game drought. It was one of 11 home runs around the majors this season with a launch angle of 17 degrees or less, and together with his towering 50-degree blast in May gives him the Giants’ highest home run of the Statcast era and their lowest since 2017.
Fitzgerald’s 11th of the season — and also his second of the series — padded the advantage in the eighth, driving in Wade after his second hit of the game. Michael Conforto doubled home two more and then traded places with Jerar Encarnacion to make it a five-run inning, more than they had totaled in any of their previous four games.
The Reds put only two other runners on base against Ray and stranded men at third base in three separate innings, including Elly De La Cruz twice.
