SAN FRANCISCO\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>Rafael Devers<\/a> homered in his first at-bat and hit a walk-off, two-run single in the 10th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a 7-6 victory<\/a> over the Angels<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Casey Schmitt also homered and Luis Arraez had two hits to help the Giants end a five-game losing streak. They rallied after blowing leads of 5-1 and 6-4.<\/p>\n

Bryce Eldridge doubled, walked and scored twice while Drew Gilbert added two hits for the Giants.<\/p>\n

Vaughn Grissom<\/a> had two hits for the Angels, including a tying two-run home run in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Pinch-runner Jesus Rodriguez began the 10th at second base and advanced to third on Arraez\u2019s soft single to left. After Heliot Ramos grounded out, Bryce Eldridge walked before Devers hit a deep fly to left off Chase Silseth (3-2) that bounced on the warning track and landed in the stands.<\/p>\n

Devers\u2019 winning hit came moments after the Giants got a big defensive play out of center fielder Grant McCrary in the top of the 10th.<\/p>\n

McCrary, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the ninth, caught Wade Meckler\u2019s fly ball in the top of the ninth then made a strong throw to third to get Grissom for an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Caleb Kilian (3-6) retired three batters for the victory.<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s walk-off win came after the Giants bullpen spoiled Logan Webb\u2019s chance at winning for the first time in nearly a month. Webb allowed four runs and six hits with four strikeouts and two walks in six innings.<\/p>\n

Devers got San Francisco (43-60) going with an opposite field two-run home run in the first inning. Schmitt added a three-run blast in the third after the Angels (41-63) issued a two-out intentional walk to Devers.<\/p>\n

Both home runs came against Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

Up next: <\/b>Giants LHP Robbie Ray (8-6, 3.33 ERA) was set to face Angels RHP Ryan Johnson (2-4, 6.10) on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
