Willy Adames and Tyler Fitzgerald hadn’t homered all season, while Fitzgerald had barely hit at all. That all changed during a six-run second inning that followed a nightmare beginning for Landon Roupp and gave the young righty his first win of the year.
The Giants 9-1-2 hitters did a lot Monday night, going 7-for-14 with three home runs, two doubles, and a triple, combining for six runs and seven RBIs. Roupp looked like he might not make it out of the first inning, but battled to qualify for a win and preserve the Giants bullpen.
The game did not begin auspiciously for the Giants.
