On the afternoon of May 4, 2024, Kendrick Lamar released the diss track “Not Like Us” to the shock of the music industry, the victory lap to his historic rap beef with Drake. Matt Chapman made it his walk-up song shortly after, and the record continues to blare throughout Oracle Park roughly four times per game. On Saturday afternoon, there was nothing minor about Chapman's game-saving swing. Chapman whopped his third career grand slam — a 402-foot line drive with just enough mustard to clear the center-field fence — and flipped a one-run deficit into a three-run lead, rescuing the Giants from an embarrassing loss to the last-place Colorado Rockies.

While the San Francisco Giants have got off to a great start to the season, a couple of key offseason additions haven't quite lived up to expectations. The Giants have emerged as one of the biggest surprises in baseball after the first month with a record comfortably over .500. San Francisco wasn't expected to be much more than a mediocre team in 2025 but has proven to be much more. With new president of baseball operations Buster Posey in charge, the team has seen improvements across the board, but it hasn't had too much to do with moves made by him this winter.

Matt Chapman hit a grand slam to help the San Francisco Giants beat the lowly Colorado Rockies 6-3 on Saturday. Chapman connected against Jake Bird (0-1) with one out in the sixth, capping a five-run inning after the Rockies scored three times in the top of the frame. It was Chapman's third career grand slam, and the first for the Giants this season.

It was only a matter of time before San Francisco Giants prized prospect Bryce Eldridge started hitting again. Well, four games later, Eldridge has picked it up. This week the Richmond Flying Squirrels are facing the Somerset Patriots, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.

Jordan Hicks vs. Bradley Blalock.

The San Francisco Giants are off to a great start. A big part of their success this year has been the pitching staff, especially the relievers. San Francisco' starting pitchers have a combined 4.17 ERA and opponents are hitting .251 off of them.

Matt Chapman broke out of a mini funk and helped the San Francisco Giants continue their resilient theme with another comeback win Saturday against the Colorado Rockies.

Four years ago, the San Francisco Giants rode 16 wins in April to a 107-win campaign and the National League West crown. This year, the Giants once again won 16 games in April, setting themselves up nicely for a strong summer of baseball in the Bay Area. The 2021 roster saw Buster Posey behind the plate, Mike Yastrzemski in right field, and Wilmer Flores serving as an infield utility man. Now, Yastrzemski is still in right field, Flores is the primary designated hitter, and Posey is retired from the game, now serving as San Francisco's President of Baseball Operations.

After a big win yesterday, the Rockies can secure a series dub with a victory Friday night

There’s definitely a reason for this.

Yesterday’s action on the farm.

The San Francisco Giants are firmly in the mix of the NL West as they're only 2.5 games behind the first-placed Los Angeles Dodgers. Depth in the active roster, along with the minor league system, can go a long way, especially in the later portion of the regular season. Reports indicate that the Giants are adding Daniel Johnson to the minor league roster, according to team beat writer Shayna Rubin. Johnson, who is 29 years of age, has played in the majors for the Cleveland Guardians and Baltimore Orioles in his career.
