The rookie hit his 10th home run of the season off All-Star Logan Gilbert, becoming the first Giant age 21 or younger to hit at least 10 homers in a single season since Jack Clark (13) in 1977. Eldridge, who isn\u2019t exactly fleet of foot, also stole the first base of his career after drawing a walk.<\/p>\n<p>Robbie Ray allowed three runs (one earned) over four-plus innings with six strikeouts to two walks, bringing his ERA to 3.33.
