The San Francisco Giants are off to a great start to the season despite some mediocrity in May so far. With the Giants off to a good start, there is hope that the franchise can sustain this success and be a contender in the National League. Coming into the campaign, San Francisco was expected to be led by their starting rotation, which has been somewhat of the case this season. One pitcher who has done well has been former American League Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray.

Corbin Carroll started the Arizona Diamondbacks' series at Oracle Park with two home runs on Monday, and Ketel Marte followed with his own multi-homer performance in Wednesday's finale. Marte clubbed two home runs onto Levi's Landing within the first four innings against the San Francisco Giants for his second game with multiple home runs within the past week.

After a great start to the season for the San Francisco Giants, they haven't been able to quite keep up their hot start in May. In the National League and more specifically the NL West, playing .500 baseball isn't going to get the job done. While the offense was good against the Rockies, they have certainly been slumping of late, which is a big concern. This isn't a team that has a ton of confidence in their batting order, and slumps could have a significant impact on their ability to win.

Tyler Fitzgerald is slated to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento later Wednesday, but it remains unclear when the injured second baseman will be able to return to the Giants. Fitzgerald was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 1, with a left rib fracture, and the Giants' game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park marked the 13th game he's had to miss.

SF Giants swept by Twins despite Ramos' big afternoon Fitzgerald was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 1, with a left rib fracture, and the Giants' game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park marked the 13th game he's had to miss.

Jung Hoo Lee has sparked something special with San Francisco Giants fans — we're talking hair-on-fire levels of excitement. Meet the Hoo Lee Gans. Lee has built an almost cult-like following at Oracle Park since joining San Francisco before the 2024 season on a $113 million, six-year deal.

Corbin Carroll hasn't just been one of the most productive players in baseball this season – he has accomplished feats not seen in nearly a century. The Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder went 2-for-5 with a home run against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, notching his third bomb in his last two games. Carroll is batting .285 with a .977 OPS and a 2.1 WAR through 43 games to open the 2025 campaign. According to Underdog Fantasy's Justin Havens, Carroll is just the second MLB player ever to record at least 14 home runs, eight doubles and five triples through the first 43 games of a season.

Christian Koss, in his words, “panicked a little.” Koss had just hit his first career home run, a grand slam that flipped a deficit into a lead. Oracle Park erupted; Koss blacked out. As Koss trotted, Willy Adames stood waiting.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have a chance to win a series against the San Francisco Giants if they can take the rubber match of their three game set. The D-backs won the first game 2-1 behind a spectacular outing from Merrill Kelly, two Corbin Carroll homers, and a game-saving catch from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Brandon Pfaadt struggled with command on Tuesday night, lasting just four innings and giving up four runs. Handing it off to the bullpen, Juan Morillo and Joe Mantiply each gave up three, allowing the Giants to blow it open in an eventual 10-6 loss for Arizona.

The Giants have been a bottom-third offense in a lot of ways, but they might be at the top of the list when it comes to teams you don’t want to let hang around. The Arizona Diamondbacks did that for three hours Wednesday afternoon, wasting several opportunities to turn this into the type of game that ends with a position player on the mound for the losing side. With a chance to make them pay in the bottom of the ninth, the Giants came up short.

The San Francisco Giants have had a pretty simple recipe for success in 2025. The 33-year-old left-hander took the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, lasting 6.0 innings. San Francisco went on to win 10-6, continuing their hot streak when Ray takes the bump. Ray improved to 6-0 on the season, claiming the MLB lead in wins.

Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez was rocked by the Dodgers last week at Chase Field, giving up eight runs (six earned) in 2 2/3 innings.

Christian Koss hit a grand slam for his first home run in the majors, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak. Jung Hoo Lee added a three-run drive and Willy Adames had a two-run homer to pace the Giants in their opener of a season-high, nine-game homestand. The 33-year-old left-hander, who pitched for the Diamondbacks from 2015-20, faced his former team for the first time.

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Tuesday that he has removed Pete Rose, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and other deceased players from the league's permanently ineligible list. The decision paves the way for Rose and Jackson — two of baseball's greatest players whose legacies were tainted by gambling — to gain admittance to the Hall of Fame. “Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” wrote Manfred in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose's removal from the permanently banned list in January.

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants Game Preview

One day after watching fellow rookie Christian Koss celebrate the accomplishment of a lifetime, Arizona youngster Jordan Lawlar would love to follow suit when the Diamondbacks conclude a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon. It took 23 games but Koss smacked his first major league home run Tuesday night, a grand slam that gave the Giants the lead for good in a 10-6 victory. The 27-year-old had just 11 hits to show for his first 55 big-league plate appearances and the Giants had fallen into an early 3-0 hole following four consecutive losses before Koss breathed some life back into San Francisco's home park.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo has finally hit one out of his home park. The Korean player batted 2-for-5 with his first home run at Oracle Park in San Francisco, helping the Giants defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6 on Tuesday. The three-run home run off left-hander Joe Mantiply in the bottom of the eighth was Lee's fifth long ball of 2025 but first in San Francisco in his 19th game there. Oracle Park is a tough stadium for left-handed hitters to hit home runs because of its high fence in the right field.
