SAN FRANCISCO \u2013 A sellout crowd of 40,043 saw the embattled Giants snap their latest losing streak Tuesday night with a 3-1 win over their former Bay Area neighbor, the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Robbie Ray\u2019s dominant pitching \u2013 two-hit ball through eight innings \u2014 was supported by the heart of the Giants\u2019 batting order, with Jung Hoo Lee supplying a home run for a 1-0 lead and Rafael Devers driving home an insurance run in the seventh.<\/p>\n

The Giants (32-46) had Monday off to recalibrate after getting swept in Miami, but dramatic storylines still followed them into this six-game homestand.<\/p>\n

A small, pregame protest took place in Willie Mays Plaza stemming from the Giants\u2019 June 12 Pride-cap controversy. Also, Devers addressed reporters at his locker before the game, confirming he apologized to manager Tony Vitello for Sunday\u2019s objection to getting replaced by a ninth-inning pinch-runner.<\/p>\n

Rather than get benched, Devers batted cleanup, overcame an 0-for-3 start, and singled up the middle in the seventh to score Bryce Eldridge, who narrowly beat a tag at the plate for a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Ray\u2019s second-longest outing in a Giants\u2019 uniform saw him allow just a third-inning, RBI single to Muncy and a fourth-inning single to Jacob Wilson. Ray (6-6, 3.70 ERA) walked four and struck out six.<\/p>\n

Caleb Killian, named the Giants\u2019 closer by Vitello on June 12, allowed a one-hit single and two-out walk en route to his fifth save this season. Killian, after a mound visit, struck out Henry Bolte to end it.<\/p>\n

The bad news for the Giants? An apparent foot injury forced an early exit from Luis Arraez, the Giants\u2019 leadoff hitter whose .320 average ranks fifth in the Majors. Arraez fouled a pitch off his right foot in the first inning, and after a third-inning single, he eventually got replaced in the fifth inning as Casey Schmitt moved from left field to second base.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Lee\u2019s fifth home run of the season put the Giants in front 1-0 in the second inning, via a 414-foot shot into the right-center gallows against A\u2019s starter Aaron Civale (5-4).<\/p>\n

Willy Adames promptly made it 2-0, having reached on double that eluded left fielder Tyler Soderstrom. Adams scored on a hit that Matt Chapman failed to stretch into a double; Chapman went into second base and inadvertently stomped on the right hand of shortstop Zack Gelof, who immediately left with a laceration and contusion.<\/p>\n

Muncy\u2019s RBI single pulled the A\u2019s within 2-1 in the third inning, after Colby Thomas reached on a dropped flyball by Lee in right field.<\/p>\n

Lee, come the sixth inning, withered in pain behind second base. He got clotheslined amid an errant throw as he stole second base, struck by the arm of Gelof\u2019s replacement, Jeff McNeil. Lee remained in the game.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Three of the Giants\u2019 past four homestands have opened after getting swept on the road. \u2026 In last month\u2019s visit to the A\u2019s, the Giants lost the opener 5-2 but won the next two games. The Giants had won eight of its previous 10 against the A\u2019s. \u2026 Tyler Mahle will return from a hamstring strain and start for the Giants in Wednesday\u2019s Irish Heritage Night game, his first start since May 26.<\/p>\n
