Willy Adames, who joined the Giants for 7 years and $182 million in the playoffs last year, only had 2 hits in the first 34 games this year and all of them were on the road, but today (5th) he hit a double shot at home and was the team's first 2 points, helping the team beat Rocky 9-3 to complete the series sweep.
Matt Chapman signed a six-year, $151 million contract extension in early September before the postseason Giants reinforced, and he fired two games in the first two games of the series for the first time this season, while Adames finally fired at home to give back to the fans.
Adames, who served as the second batter, sent the ball to the center left field home run outside the wall in the first inning, and blasted the ball out of the left field wall in the second hit of the third inning to give the Giants a 2-0 lead.
The Giants added 3 points with 4 hits in the 5th inning, and then used 2 4 dead balls and 4 hits to score 4 points in the 7th inning to seal the win. Logan Webb showed a strong pitching style, losing only 1 point and 6K in 7 innings of the main pitch, scoring his fourth win of the season and dropping his ERA to 2.61.
Adames, who is currently batting 3-in-3, said: "It's a good feeling, of course the most important thing is that we win, but it's great to be able to blow the ball off the pitch, it feels like it's belated."
This feeling can also be seen in the fifth inning, when he hit a 402-foot deep flyball, but unfortunately landed right in the deepest center right field of Oracle Field and hit a home run wall to form a home run, otherwise Adames would have become the fourth player to hit three hits in a single game at Oracle Stadium after Kevin Elster in 2000, Pablo Sandoval in 2012 and Joc Pederson in 2022.
"I felt like a level flyer, I thought it was going to be a flyer sacrifice ball, but I was totally okay with second base." Adames said.
Speaking about Adames, who has hit 7 hits and 4 hits and 2 free runs in his last two games, Giants head coach Bob Melvin said: "He's calm in the strike zone right now, he's hot when he's going to start showing his striking power, and now he seems to be getting better and better every game, and today two home runs look like they're ready to get into shape."
