Joc Pederson homered again, and in a 9-3 win Wednesday afternoon was joined by Evan Longoria — twice — and Mike Yastrzemski.
SAN FRANCISCO — There was no possible way, no imaginable scenario, that Joc Pederson and the Giants could find an encore Wednesday to match the maniacal back-and-forth with the Mets from the previous night, featuring three Joc Jams.After mashing three home runs Wednesday night, Pederson did it again in his first trip to the plate Wednesday afternoon, barely 12 hours since his last one the night before.
Junis limited a Mets lineup that had exploded for 26 runs the past two nights to just two over six innings of work, actually managing to raise his rotation-best ERA ever so slightly to 2.76. The only damage the Mets were able to muster came on one mistake pitch that Francisco Lindor placed in the left-field seats and a leadoff walk in the second that doted around the pond.
After a jammed shoulder kept Evan Longoria from participating in the festivities Tuesday night, he took the first pitch he saw Wednesday from Mets starter Thomas Szapucki over the wall in dead center. Longoria, maybe suffering from a bout of FOMO from the previous night, went deep again in his second at-bat only an inning later, with a high shot that looped down the left field line.
Longoria has as many hits in his past 12 at-bats as he did in his first 28 trips to the plate since returning from finger surgery, doubling his OPS, from .321 to .650, in the span of three games. His two home runs Wednesday gave him the 20th multi-homer game of his career and his first since July 2019.
