Giants at Guardians



Bericoto's infield single in the fourth plated Devers with the only run San Francisco would need, and it held up. Adames paced the offense going 3-for-4, and the Giants leaned on strikeouts all night, fanning 15 Cleveland hitters to just 8 of their own. The win moves the Giants to 52-74 while the Guardians drop to 61-66, and the season series now sits tied 1-1.
