In San Francisco on Wednesday night, the Giants secured a decisive 13-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Mike Yastrzemski smashed a home run and drove in four runs, while Blake Snell struck out eight batters in five innings. Jerar Encarnacion also contributed with a homer and three RBIs, alongside Tyler Fitzgerald and Patrick Bailey who each recorded three hits.

The Giants quickly gained the upper hand by scoring four runs in both the first and second innings against Brewers pitcher Colin Rea. Yastrzemski’s three-run homer in the second inning was a highlight of the offensive onslaught. Matt Chapman added to the lead with a home run in the fourth inning.

Snell, with a 3-3 record, allowed only one run and four hits during his victorious outing at home. The Giants, despite registering a season-low attendance of 22,042 fans, dominated the game. Rea endured a tough night on the mound, lasting only four innings and conceding 10 runs on 11 hits.

In the injury report, Giants pitcher Jordan Hicks showed promise in a rehab start, while Robbie Ray’s bullpen session was cut short due to fatigue. The team is closely monitoring Ray’s recovery for a potential return to action.

The Giants will conclude the series with Giants RHP Hayden Birdsong facing Brewers RHP Frankie Montas in the final game.

Overall, the Giants’ powerful hitting and Snell’s pitching prowess led them to a resounding victory over the Brewers, solidifying their position as a force to be reckoned with in the league.
