CHICAGO — A tough situation became even more challenging for the Chicago White Sox during the sixth inning Saturday at Rate Field when starter Adrian Houser got called for a balk, placing runners on second and third with no outs. Oh, and Rafael Devers was at the plate. Houser handled the circumstances like the experienced pitcher that he is, with the help of his rookie catcher. He struck out ...

The Giants continue to tread water in the National League West, falling 1-0 on the road Saturday to the Chicago White Sox with the bats mostly staying silent in the 11 games since the trade for designated hitter Rafael Devers. An excellent outing by starting pitcher Robbie Ray went for naught with the Giants getting handcuffed by Chicago starter Adrian Houser and rookie reliever Grant Taylor. The Giants, hopeful of rectifying a 3-6 homestand with a potentially favorable road trip to Chicago, Arizona and Sacramento, fell to 45-38 after winning the series opener Friday night.

The first season of the Buster Posey era for the San Francisco Giants has gone much better on the field than many expected. This is a Giants team that is squarely within the playoff picture and somewhat keeping pace in a loaded National League West at the halfway point of the campaign. San Francisco has won an impressive amount of games, but the biggest victory for Posey so far came off the field. When the Giants executed the trade with the Boston Red Sox to bring Rafael Devers to San Francisco, Posey did what his predecessor could not and brought a legitimate superstar to the Bay Area.

Andrew Benintendi hit a home run and Adrian Houser scattered four hits over seven innings to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 1-0 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Saturday afternoon. Houser walked one and struck out five before departing after throwing 88 pitches, 62 for strikes. Grant Taylor, who hit 100.9 mph with a fastball on the radar gun, struck out two during two hitless innings of relief to pick up his second save. Michael A. Taylor doubled and had two hits and Vinny Capra also had two hits for Chicago, which picked up just its second victory in its last nine home games.

The San Francisco Giants made the biggest trade in baseball so far this year when they acquired Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers in a deal that rocked the league to its core. Devers, a former third baseman turned designated hitter, is expected to play some first base for the Giants after his refusal to do so with the Red Sox was a huge reason why he was eventually shipped out of town. Arriving to the Bay Area with a seemingly new attitude and a willingness to do whatever is asked, having Devers in the back pocket at first is a huge boost.

Explore three sneaky trade targets the San Francisco Giants should pursue at the 2025 MLB deadline to boost World Series hopes.

The San Francisco Giants have burst out of the gate in 2025 with a strong start, but in a loaded NL West, standing pat won't be enough to secure a World Series berth. With a roster that features stars like Logan Webb, Matt Chapman, and Willy Adames, the Giants have the foundation of a contender. However, several areas of need have emerged, most notably at first base, in the outfield, and in the bullpen. To maximize their championship window, here are three sneaky trades the Giants must make to boost their World Series chances.

The San Francisco Giants made some huge headlines on Friday afternoon when they promoted one of their top pitching prospects to the big leagues. Carson Seymour will make his MLB debut the first time he steps on the mound for the Giants this weekend, and while he may likely be getting his career started from the bullpen, he long-term projects as a starter and could move there this season if the Giants want to shake things up. Seymour is impressive and has put up some very solid numbers this year, but Carson Whisenhunt and Carson Ragsdale project out as potential future stellar starting pitchers as well.
