Game recap

By the numbers:

Luis Arraez got the scoring started with an RBI single in the third that drove in rookie catcher Jesús Rodríguez, who opened the inning with a double.

With two outs in the fourth, Willy Adames singled and McCray sent a 406-foot shot the other way to left-center for his sixth career home run and first since a two-homer game at San Diego on Sept. 7, 2024.

The 25-year-old outfielder went 2 for 22 in 22 big league games last season and had been hitless in six at-bats this year since getting recalled July 10 from Triple-A Sacramento.

San Francisco lost Casey Schmitt to an apparent leg injury, as the third baseman exited in the second after pulling up awkwardly while rounding first base. Christian Koss replaced Schmitt.

Schmitt adds to San Francisco’s growing injury list as the team was already without third baseman Matt Chapman (abdominal strain) and Lee (right elbow soreness).
