Willy Adames big night at the plate fueled the San Francisco Giants' 7-2 win over the Athletics on Saturday night at Sutter Health Park,

The San Francisco Giants started off their season on a hot streak, and while they have begun to cool down in recent weeks, they are still doing whatever it takes to stay in the race of the National League West. Unfortunately, with them falling to 47-42, they are now third behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, and only three and a half games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks. With the team in a rut, they are doing whatever they can to stay afloat, but after an 11-2 loss to the Athletics, things are beginning to seem a bit dire with the current core of players. One of their key offseason acquisitions who has not found his stride is Justin Verlander.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Justin Verlander makes admission as calls mount for retirement.

The San Francisco Giants are hoping to get Matt Chapman back in the batting order for Saturday's game with the Athletics. During a pre-game session with media on Friday, manager Bob Melvin told reporters that the expectation is that Chapman will be active for Saturday's game in Sacramento. Chapman's comments were reported by NBC Sports Bay Area, among other outlets.

San Francisco's leadoff hitter was committed to the bat.

The Giants went into their series finale at Chase Field with a bullpen in need of a breather. Wednesday night's 6-5 win, 10-inning win required manager Bob Melvin use five relievers: Erik Miller, Spencer Bivens, Randy Rodríguez, Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval. Doval, in particular, threw two innings for the first time in three years, blowing a save in the ninth before locking down a win in the 10th. Melvin would've been happy if Robbie Ray went seven innings.

JP Sears pitched six scoreless innings, Nick Kurtz and Denzel Clarke hit home runs, and the Athletics cruised past the San Francisco Giants 11-2 on Friday night. Jacob Wilson and Brent Rooker both drove in two of six early runs off Justin Verlander as the Athletics took a 6-0 lead after three innings.

The Giants flew out of Phoenix with much-needed good vibes. Camilo Doval redeemed himself on Wednesday, and Robbie Ray shined on Thursday. Justin Verlander, two decades after making his major-league debut, allowed a season-high six runs over three innings in his worst start of the year. The defense made three errors.

Matt Chapman is slated to rejoin the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in Sacramento. It'll be the second game of a series against his former team, the Athletics. Beat reporter Susan Slusser reported that Chapman played in one Triple-A game on Friday before traveling to join the team and get back into MLB action on Saturday. Chapman has been out with a hand injury.

Big news for San Francisco.

As the Giants made their way into the first-base dugout at Sutter Health Park on Friday evening, a remnant from the previous night remained hung on the wall near the helmet rack: The lineup card of the Triple-A Reno Aces, who had just played the Sacramento River Cats. It was one of many reminders that the Giants and Athletics were playing a major league game in a minor-league stadium — that the Battle of the Bay was relegated to the past. “It felt a little different coming here today,” said manager Bob Melvin, who managed the Oakland A's from 2011-21. Certainly last year in Oakland, the rivalry is pretty significant.

The San Francisco Giants need help in their starting rotation in the second half of the season as they contend for another World Series title.

The San Francisco Giants were the first team to make a blockbuster move in 2025. The Giants traded for Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers to bolster their lineup. Pitching remains the Giants' biggest problem, but Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen could help fix it.
