Wilmer Flores scanning offers a scanning

San Francisco – A guiches closed by the sun celebrated more than just Giants’ victory on Sunday in Oracle Park.

This 5-4 victory occurred in fashion, she obtained a scan of their home opening series against the Seattle Mariners, and he extended the longest sequence of Active Baseball Victories to seven W.

The Giants, after having swept their previous series of three games in Houston, have an 8-1 file for the second time only since his move to San Francisco in 1958; The 2003 club opened 13-1.

Pinch-Hitter Wilmer Flores delivered a simple two withdrawals in the ninth to mark Luis Matos, a launch after a phenomenal socket, the right defender of the Navy, Victor Robles.

“We have the feeling where we can win the match whatever happens,” said Giants manager Bob Melvin. “When you lose your head in the ninth, it’s a bit demoralizing. To be able to come back, it shows what we have developed here, a certain identity that we can win these close matches, we can win any type of game.

“If we have the opportunity to win in the ninth or late, we have the feeling that it will happen,” added Melvin, “especially in this stadium with the fans who go crazy.”

The winner of Game de Flores was very magnificent given the macabre scene that she followed. Robles faced Patrick Bailey’s flyball for the second withdrawal of the Giants; Matos tagged and put forward from the first to the third of the play, but a rereading review brought Matos to the second base.

Robles had to be transported from the ground after his left arm collided with the waist wall and the heavy bullet net. “He took a wall that we have never seen anyone face in the 25th anniversary of this park,” said Mike Krukow on the broadcast of NBC Sports Bay. “It was one of the most spectacular captures we saw in this stadium.”

While Flores said that he had to block this “unhappy” scene, his targeting goal is always “to try not to be a hero and stay in the moment”.

By making a concerted effort not to shoot lead 98 mi / h from Gregory Santos, Flores heroically delivered his ninth career in career. Melvin said: “He’s the guy you want in this situation. He knows what to expect, he knows how to manage it and did not try to do too much. The hole was open between the first and the second (base). He did so often.”

Once Flores managed to head for greener pastures, “it was great, I knew I was going to score,” said Matos.

Mike Yastrzemski, whose three-point Homer marked the giants in an advance of 4-2 in fourth round, started the winning rally with a four-step advance. Matos then reached the choice of a defensive player, with the shift of Yastrzemski in the second base by breaking a potential double game.

Camilo Doval entered the ninth looking for his third stop for the season, and he was a blow to do this. Instead, Randy Arozarena cleaning shot bordered a two -stroke single on a Matt Chapman jumping to the third, leading to Robles for the connection race. Doval escaped a base jam that followed by bringing Mitch Garver out to Chapman.

The three -point circuit from Yastrzemski came to an opposite field approach which previously delivered singles by Jung Hoo Lee and Heliot Ramos, the latter, including Willy Adames for the first series of the Giants of the day. “I was beaten by fast bullets three times during my first At-Bat (a withdrawal), so this time, I told myself that I was not going to fight,” said Yastrzemski. “Pulling the ball in the other direction is all you need in this situation and I have almost.”

The Yastrzemski circuit was his first of the season, and he responded to a pre-match request from his daughter, who also asked for a triple and success. The timely and GO-AHEAD shot came on a quick bullet at the first step of the starter Mariners belt, Bryan Woo, a native of Oakland who launched a strike at the first blow of 72.9% of last season for the best brand of MLB since the start of this follow-up in 1988.

Flores reached the base in the nine of the Giants’s games, but it was out of the alignment until the ninth round. “I can’t run Flo every day. I know it’s just dh-id and we get a lot of production from him. I want to keep him healthy,” said Melvin. “It was a good day to bring in stuff, remove (heliot) Ramos from his feet and give Flo a day off, even if I always left him the bench.”

Indeed, he did.

After having launched six -sleeves without goal last week to win in his native Houston, Jordan Hicks granted a pair of solo circuits on Sunday, with strikers n ° 2 and 3 Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh going deep in the first and third rounds, respectively. Hicks was fired after 90 throws – with a withdrawal in the sixth, two men on the basis and a standing ovation from a closed window at the first start of the season at home.

Randy Rodriguez lift quickly gave a simple RBI to Ryan Bliss which reduced the GIANTS advance to 4-3. Rodriguez failed to back into the house that bounded in front of the recipient Patrick Bailey, and not only did it allow two sailors to advance a base, Matos was accused of an error – only the Giants Second all the season. Matos subsequently made an end of rallying near the third-base stands to preserve the 4-3 advance.

Seattle threatened to spoil things in the eighth with a pair of simple tinks off Erik Miller, but Matt Chapman began a double game 5-4-3 to end the threat. Another jewel of the web came earlier on the left side of the inner field when Adames, in fifth round, found a Julio Rodriguez grouping in a shallow central field and folded a ball to a hop in time for the first basic player Lamonte Wade.

Following

The Giants then welcome the Cincinnati Reds in a revenge match of the opening series of the season last week, with the starters of Monday like match n ° 1 in Logan Webb against Hunter Greene. Bénérant is a 10 -game road trip against New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Angels.

Hot start

Melvin retraced the hot start of the giants to a confluence of factors, longtime cohesion, veterans advice and a different approach which, without naming the names, traces to the presence of Buster Posey as president of baseball operations.

“There is cohesion to the team this year,” said Melvin, “that we really did not have, at least to start last year, because the guys had just come later. The free agency and so on were made later in the spring.

“That, the fact that we have a little different from the way we do things, and we have some success is a good atmosphere,” added Melvin. “We have brought guys who are a great presence of clubhouse to Willy Adames and Justin Verlander. We have guys here who are signed for a long time. It seems that it is put in place a little differently.”
