San Francisco Giants podcast Marko Ukalovic:

#1 San Francisco Giants Heliot Ramos hit a two run single off Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill on Sunday with two outs in the top of the ninth as the Giants came back and beat the Brewers 4-3 at American Family Park in Milwaukee.

#2 The Giants were behind 3-2 when Matt Chapman came up and hit a ninth inning lead off double followed by Luis Matos who hit a single with one out. Rafael Devers struck out and Megill walked Jung Hoo Lee to load the bases that brought up Ramos who got a two run RBI single to give the Giants the lead 4-3.

#3 Ramos had been in a drought before coming to the plate in the ninth on Sunday going 0 for 12 over the last three games but tracked a 2-1 fastball and slugged it up the middle to get Chapman and Matos across the plate.

#4 Matos contributed earlier in the game with a two run home run that helped give San Francisco their first series win since beating the Pittsburgh Pirates back on Aug 4-6.

#5 The Giants have Monday off and return to Oracle Park to host the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs lead the National League Wild Card race by 6.5 games over second place San Diego Padres. The Giants are 6.5 games back for the last Wild Card spot.
