Their ninth-inning rally gave the Giants their first win in 37 tries this season when trailing after eight innings.
Austin Slater, who scored from third base on Yastrzemski’s grand slam, was caught between first and second on a pick off but beat the throw to second. Yermín Mercedes reached when Hader hit him with a pitch. And Slater poked a blooper into right to bring up Yastrzemski.All of the Brewers’ five runs came in a disaster of a fifth inning that replicated so many of the faults that had led to losses during their stretch of baseball that dropped them 13.
LaMonte Wade Jr. made the critical error on Christian Yelich’s hopper to first, after two Brewers reached on infield singles. The grounder hit off his glove, then off second baseman Thairo Estrada’s glove, and both runners rounded the remaining bags amid the chaos. After setting a season-high with eight strikeouts over seven shutout innings in his last start, Wood came one shy of matching that total through 4⅔ on Friday. Before the two infield singles and the error, Wood had retired 14 of the past 15 batters he faced since Yelich led off the game with a single. He was at 84 pitches when manager Gabe Kapler came out with the hook.
