Yoenis Cespedes used to hit home runs at the Coliseum that nearly had the distance to reach San Francisco. Saturday, he was on the other side of the bay and seemed to be aiming for Oakland.
Cespedes hit two mighty home runs to sink the Giants in a 9-5 loss to the Mets - an estimated 457 feet to left-center off Matt Moore and an estimated 418 feet to left off Jake Peavy.
It’s the kind of power the Giants would love to have in their pursuit of a division title. They entered Saturday ranked 29th in the majors in homers (100) and 29th in homers since the All-Star break (25).
