Over 27 seasons at their waterfront ballpark, the Giants are 38-4 when hitting four-plus home runs. The Padres own three of the four victories by opponents.12 Sep 2026 22:51 +0000at://did:plc:k4gm5ltulusdc676ewtjlxxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mve67gpuoc22https://bsky.app/profile/andrewbaggarly.bsky.social/post/3mv7hluefns2jJackson Flora’s playoff start for San Jose: two innings, two walks, no hits, four strikeouts, touched 99.

He hit a three-run homer off Paul Skenes and suddenly he's got 82 RBIs. He's got a shot at becoming the first Giant to reach 100 since Buster Posey's NL MVP season in 2012. Prior to that, it was Bonds in his last MVP season of 2004.01 Sep 2026 23:17 +0000at://did:plc:k4gm5ltulusdc676ewtjlxxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3muikj6oqas2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/andrewbaggarly.bsky.social/post/3muifjw6xns2fAlso, Drew Gilbert was scratched and Jonah Cox replaces him, batting cleanup. No word yet on a reason. Turner Hill slides into the leadoff spot. He's the 15th player the Giants have tried there to start a game this season.
