BOSTON-In what was probably the weirdest game of the season, just two words come to mind. Hanley Ramirez.

This will be a night that the Boston Red Sox first baseman will never forget, as he hit three two-run home runs and drove in six runs and the Boston Red Sox defeated the San Francisco Giants 11-7 before a sellout crowd of 38,201 at Fenway Park.

With the loss, the Giants have lost five games in a row, tying their longest losing streak of the season. The Giants also lost five in a row from April 17-21.

The three home runs were a career-high for Ramirez, as were the six runs batted in for the slugging first baseman.

This was the first multi-home run game of the season for Ramirez, and his first since April 26, 2015, when he hit two home runs against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

With the six runs batted in, it broke his previous career-high of five that was done on four different occasions and the last being on April 6, 2015 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

Ramirez is the first Giants opponent to have three home runs and to drive in six runs batted in since Jeff Cirillo of the Colorado Rockies accomplished it on June 28, 2000 at Coors Field.

All in all, the Giants allowed five home runs, the most that they allowed in a single game since allowing five on April 21, 2014 against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.

Matt Cain did not last thru the third inning, as he went just 2.1 innings, allowing five runs on six hits, walking one and striking out three in his first start for the Giants since June 13 against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Cain also gave up three of the five home runs on the evening, including two to Ramirez and one to Travis Shaw.

“It looked Cainer came to pitch,” said Brown, after Cain retired the Red Sox in order on just seven pitches in the bottom of the first inning.

The Red Sox got to Cain in the bottom of the second inning, they scored three runs, that included Ramirez’s first home run and Shaw’s solo home run.

It what was in the bottom of the third inning that the Red Sox looked like they were going to run away and hide, as Ramirez hit his second two-run home run and that was the end of the night for Cain.

“Not necessarily, I gotta away with a couple of them, two mistakes down the middle to Hanley and then the same thing to Shaw,” said Cain. “I missed the spots pretty badly,” Cain added.

Albert Suarez came on to replace Cain, and promptly gave up a double to Jackie Bradley, Jr., and after a fly out by Shaw, Suarez allowed three straight extra base hits and the Red Sox took a commanding 8-0 lead.

The Giants decided enough was enough, and they were tired of getting bullied around by the Red Sox, as they scored five runs in the fourth inning.

Mac Williamson supplied the big blow in the inning, as he hit a three-run home run off of Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz.

Buster Posey led off the inning with a walk, then Brandon Crawford singled and then Williamson put a Pomeranz 3-1 pitch into the netting above the Green Monster for his fifth home run of the season.

Following the Williamson home run, Grant Green singled then Trevor Brown hit his fifth home run of the season to get the Giants within three runs at 8-5. Ramiro Pena continued the onslaught, as he became the seventh straight Giants player to reach base, when he singled and that was the end of Pomeranz’s first start as a member of the Red Sox after acquired from the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

“I can’t say enough about how these guys battled, when we get down eight runs and the tying run to the plate in the next inning,” said Bruce Bochy. “They didn’t quit, they kept coming,” Bochy added.

Brown went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, and two runs batted in. Four of Brown’s five home runs on the season have hit been on the road.

Pomeranz lasted three innings, allowing five runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out four; however he did not fare in the decision since he did not pitch the required five innings.

The Giants continued their amazing comeback in the top of the fifth inning, as they scored two more runs to get within one run.

Unfortunately, that would be as close as the Giants would get, as Ramirez hit his third two-run home run of the game in bottom of the sixth inning and Sandy Leon would put the finishing touches on the scoring, when he hit his third home run of the season in the bottom of the seventh inning.
