San Francisco – Christian Koss, in his words, “has a little panicked”.
Koss had just struck his first Home Run in a career, a great slam who overthrew a deficit in an advance. Oracle Park broke out; Koss blackened. While Koss was trotting, Willy Adames was waiting. Adames, the conservative resident of the giants of good vibrations, launched a handshake in several stages. Koss, wearing a smile in the ears, forgot the choreography.
“Everything is fine,” said Koss, his smile that has not yet disappeared. “We will get the next one.”
Adames, a man of media threshing in the soul, did not care at all. His teammates, a group, who is not, are not suddenly invigorated with a new life after having stumbled into play with a sequence of four consecutive defeats.
Koss’s slam represented the first of the three circuits that the Giants struck against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the other two of the Adames Battes and Jung Hoo Lee – The Night of the Korean Heritage, nothing less. It is a cathartic swing that paved the way for a 10-6 victory, their first in their New City Connect Jerseys and their ninth victory in nine attempts when Robbie Ray has the slab.
“You certainly do not write a big slam like the first,” said Koss. “Even in this situation, I was not really trying to put a big swing on it. I was trying to stay outside a double game and to raise something. I put a good swing on it.”
“He will never forget this moment,” said Ray. “He will talk to his grandchildren.”

Given how the last days took place, the giants needed someone to explode their canoe. They were swept away by the Minnesota twins during the weekend, their attack marking a race each Friday and Saturday. Manager Bob Melvin rocked the programming on Monday, but this new order gathered a single round.
The Koss swing also arrived at a timely time during the match. Ray granted three points in the first on four consecutive strokes. At the end of a round, the giants envisaged the possibility of a fifth consecutive defeat in the face. Koss gave them an advance that they will never lose. After the match, he exchanged a few bats with the young fan who made the problem in exchange for the ball.
“We became nuts,” said Robbie Ray, who granted three points in six rounds with a record of nine stick withdrawals. “It was a great moment. You could just feel at that time that he was going to do something. He came in situations like that and obtained bases and moved guys. He put a big swing on it and he found the seats and we lose it.”
Adding Lee via the interpreter of the Justin Han team: “This Home Run brought a different atmosphere, a different energy in the canoe.”
From there, his teammates padded his head. Adames, who was abandoned from the second to sixth place in alignment on Monday, struck his own circuit, a two -point shot for his fifth of the season. The Wade Jr. Lamonte in difficulty followed with only one, then marked on wild land. In the eighth, Lee provided a three -point shot, a home run made possible by the manager of Diamondbacks Torey Torey Lovullo.
With an open base and the left -hander Joe Mantiply on the mound, Lovullo intentionally worked Heliot Ramos to go to Lee. The movement had a tactical meaning. Ramos has a career .920 OPS against left -handers while Lee, entering the game, had a .466 OPS in May. With the “Hoo Lee Gans” encouraging him in the upper bridge, Lee provided the dagger in the form of a three -point circuit, his first Home Run at Oracle Park this season.
“When (Matt Chapman) came out, I thought in my mind that I had the impression that the Diamondbacks were going to face me to the place of Ramos,” said Lee via the interpreter of the Justin Han team. “I went there and I just wanted to help the team marking a race. I never thought it would be a big race like that. ”
In the middle of the long balls, Ray rebounded from the first and held the aimless Diamondbacks during the next five images on the way to record his fourth consecutive quality departure. With several unavailable launchers – the right -hander Tyler Rogers and the left -hander Erik Miller launched Sunday and Monday – Ray prevented Melvin from still exhausting the enclosure of the lifts.
Camilo Doval was the only high level lift that Melvin used on Tuesday, but he found himself in danger of authorizing his first round in more than a month – and blowing the game in the process.
With the giants in mind, 7-4, the Diamondbacks loaded the bases with an outing against Doval, by adjusting the table for the top of their order. Without margin of error, Doval used a cutter of 100.2 MPH to induce a double game of 1-2-3 at the end of Ketel Marte to end the threat and prolong his aimless sequence at 15 games.
“You abandon three in the first, it’s not ideal,” said Ray. “At this point, you try to get started as deeply as possible in the game, except the enclosure of the lifts, give your team a chance to win, to keep us in it. It was as if we had good strikers and just waiting for this breakthrough. We got it and we were able to close it after that.”
