Casey Schmitt lined a walkoff double that allowed the Giants to overcome an early deficit and the loss of their center fielder.
San Francisco Giants’ LaMonte Wade Jr. gestures to teammate Mike Yastrzemski after hitting a two-run home run against the Cincinnati Reds in the fifth inning of their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, May 12, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have taken blow after blow over the past week and sustained another significant one early Sunday afternoon against the Reds.
After Ryan Walker served up a game-tying home run in the eighth inning, Sunday’s win required the walk-off heroics of Casey Schmitt. Schmitt drove a two-out, two-strike pitch from Lucas Sims into the left-center field gap, allowing Luis Matos to race home from second and score the winning run. Just five batters after Harrison plunked the Reds’ leadoff man, Lee laid in pain on the warning track as Friedl and three other Reds rounded the bases. Giving chase to Jeimer Candelario’s bases-clearing double, Lee leaped into the center field wall, appeared to jam his left arm, and crumpled to the ground.
Harrison walked off the mound trailing 3-0 but was shown pumping his fist in the dugout as the Giants flipped the score in the bottom half of the inning. It is a good sign for the Giants’ long-term prospects, then, or at least their ability to withstand the current storm, that their young reinforcements have not only not hindered their chances the past two games but played pivotal roles in their wins.
LaMonte Wade Jr. lifted a fly ball that had no business landing anywhere but the right fielder’s glove. Reaching the jetstream blowing out to McCovey Cove, though, the ball carried and carried, just far enough to clear the Levi’s Landing sign, about 10 feet to the left of the right-field foul pole.
