Giants 3, Rangers 2
Heliot Ramos led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a “Little League home run,” capitalizing on two Texas throwing errors to circle the bases on an infield single and give host San Francisco a walk-off victory.
Ramos cut reliever Luke Jackson’s first pitch between the mound and third base, where Jackson bare-handedly threw it past first baseman Jake Burger. Burger chased down the ball in foul territory down the right field line, but his attempt to shoot down Ramos streaking for third was off-target, allowing the Giant to score.
Camilo Doval (2-1) earned the win after needing only 10 pitches to retire the Rangers in order in the top of the ninth. Jackson (0-3) suffered the loss. Marcus Semien had a two-run single for Texas. Wilmer Flores of San Francisco drew a bases-loaded walk, and Christian Koss added an RBI single.
