On the San Francisco Giants podcast Stephen Ruderman:

#1 San Francisco Giants Patrick Bailey hit his fourth career walk hit as a pinch hitter that scored Heliot Ramos from as they Giants who were down at one time 2-0 came back and defeated the Texas Rangers 3-2 at Oracle Park on Saturday.

#2 The Rangers starter Tyler Mahle who came into Saturday’s game with a 3-0 ERA 0.68 got touched up for eight hits and two earned runs. The Giants were facing a tough competitor in Mahle but came away with a comeback win.

#3 The Giants Willy Adames has been key in the line up he tied the ball game in the bottom of the fifth inning with a two run RBI single. Adames now has 14 hits that has either tied up a game or gave the Giants the lead.

#4 Pitching wise Giants starter Robbie Ray went seven innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs and eight strike outs. Ray didn’t get the decision but again another good outing and enough for the Giants to pick up their 17th win of the season.

#5 The series is tied 1-1 and the stage is set for game 3 of the series today here at Oracle Park. The Rangers will be going with RHP Jack Leiter (2-0 ERA 0.90) and the Giants will be going with RHP Jordan Hicks (1-3, 6.59) first pitch slated for 1:05pm PDT. It’s been a competitive series so far how do you see the match up going into the rubber match.

#6 Big tribute for former Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford who retired from baseball after playing for the Giants from 2011-2023 that brought speeches from former Giants players and Giants personnel before Saturday’s game, Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, former Giants manager Bruce Bochy, and CEO Larry Baer.
