He patiently watched three more balls land outside the zone, waiting for the pitch he wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=916\">From crunchy to creamy, Americans want food that feels as good as it tastes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>When he got the offering he was looking for, a 96-mile-per-hour fastball down the middle of the plate at Colorado\u2019s Coors Field on Sunday afternoon, Adames sent it flying 380 feet through the thin mile high air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His fifth inning grand slam put an early exclamation mark on a long-awaited Giants victory, an 19-6 win that snapped a five-game losing streak and avoided a sweep at the hands of the lowly Rockies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Giants (23-36) put up 25 hits, the most of any game this season. Their nine doubles, three by Rafael Devers, was a franchise record for most in a single game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a good day for everyone,\u201d Bryce Eldridge said on the NBC Bay Area broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><span>After Casey Schmitt\u2019s third hit of the day in the eighth inning, rookie outfielder Jonah Cox made his MLB debut as a pinch runner with around 60 friends and family in the stands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cox scored a few minutes later, going from first to home after an error by the Rockies on a Rafael Devers single. Cox later moved to center field to finish the game, and laced a double in his first at-bat in the ninth inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giants starter Robbie Ray finished his day after only four innings, throwing 96 pitches, striking out six, allowing five hits, one earned run and walking two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Jung Hoo Lee helped the Giants offense get going early, driving Rafael Devers in with a single to center off Rockies starter Tanner Gordon. Lee had his first five-hit game as a pro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the second inning, Daniels Susac added another run to the advantage by lacing a 96 mph double to right, getting Bryce Eldridge across the plate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=914\">Three shot in downtown San Jose<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Ray was up to 50 pitches by the end of the second inning, which saw him give up a run on a sacrifice fly to Rafael Devers in foul territory on the fist base side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kyle Karros was able to narrowly avoid the tag a split second before Daniel Susac applied a tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Rockies starter Gordon lasted only 75 pitches, being pulled facing a 2-1 deficit after he hit Susac in the head with a 78 mph curveball in the fourth inning. Brennen Bernardino, his replacement, gave up a single to Schmitt to make it 3-1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A few batters later, Luis Arraez drove in Susac on a sacrifice fly to center to make it 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Rockies cut the lead to just 4-3 in the bottom of the inning when Willi Castro broke his bat. Ray struggled to field the ball, and then made an errant throw to first, allowing two Rockies to score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0The Giants answered in the top of the fifth, plating three on a Matt Chapman double, a Drew Gilbert triple and a Schmitt single.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Adames\u2019 grand slam made it 11-3 and the rout was on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Rockies scored twice in the bottom of the fifth, but Eldridge, who started at DH was 4 of 6, hit his second home run of the season with a towering 453-foot home run over the center field wall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eldridge is 12 for 34 over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood place to hit, and feel like I have some momentum going,\u201d Eldridge said.<\/p>\n<p><span>Lee and Arraez added RBI in the seventh to make it a 14-5 game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Rockies put catcher Brett Sullivan in as a pitcher in the eighth. Joel Peguero had to leave the game in the eighth inning after pulling up lame after fielding a ground ball.<\/p>\n<p><span>The Giants will travel to Milwaukee and beginning the series on Monday. Landen Roupp (5-3, 3.30 ERA) is expected to start against Shane Drohan (2-1, 2.63 ERA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=913\">Word Game: May 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SF Giants rookie Jonah Cox also made his MLB debut in a game where the team had over 20 hits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
