Tyler Mahle combined with four relievers on a four-hitter, Rafael Devers broke a sixth-inning tie with a three-run home run and the San Francisco Giants made it two of three from the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-0 victory Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Making his third start as a Giant, Mahle matched zeroes with Phillies starter Aaron Nola for five innings before getting pulled after allowing a two-out single to Adolis Garcia in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Left-hander Matt Gage (1-0) came on to strike out Brandon Marsh, preserving the scoreless tie.<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t last long. Willy Adames doubled with one out in the last of the sixth, and Luis Arraez followed with a walk. After Nola struck out Matt Chapman, Devers launched the first pitch he saw over the fence in center field for a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
The homer was Devers\u2019 second of the season.<\/p>\n
Caleb Kilian pitched out of a two-on, one-out jam in the seventh, Blake Tidwell threw a 1-2-3 eighth and Erik Miller worked a non-save ninth, giving the Giants a second straight win after they\u2019d opened 1-7 at home.<\/p>\n
Gage, the pitcher of record when the Giants scored their three runs in the sixth, was credited with the win, the first of his 55-game career. He had been 0-2.<\/p>\n
The Giants tacked on two runs in the eighth thanks in large part to a throwing error by Jose Alvarado on an Arraez sacrifice bunt. The errant throw allowed Adames, who had singled, to score all the way from first base.<\/p>\n
One out later, Devers made it a four-RBI day with an RBI single.<\/p>\n
Nola (1-1) completed six innings, allowing three runs and five hits. He walked one and struck out three.<\/p>\n
Mahle struck out six and walked four in his 5 2\/3 shutout innings. He gave up three hits.<\/p>\n
Adames and Arraez, who had a triple, joined Devers with two hits apiece for the Giants, who outscored the visitors 11-0 in the last two games of the series.<\/p>\n
All four Phillies hits were singles, including one by Kyle Schwarber, who also walked twice in four plate appearances. Philadelphia completed a 3-3 trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Mahle combined with four relievers on a four-hitter, Rafael Devers broke a sixth-inning tie with a three-run…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2397],"tags":[5,4,144,25,4216,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-671217","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-phillies","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-philadelphia","11":"tag-philadelphia-phillies","12":"tag-philadelphiaphillies","13":"tag-phillies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116371870474960767","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
