SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey singled home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants overcame a two-run deficit to beat the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Saturday.
Willy Adames hit a two-run single in the fifth, ending Tyler Mahler’s career-best 20-inning scoreless streak.
With the score 2-2, Heliot Ramos singled off Jacob Webb (2-1) starting the ninth, LaMonte Wade Jr. walked and Christian Koss sacrificed. The switch-hitting Bailey batted for Sam Huff, left-hander Jacob Lentz relieved and Bailey, who entered with a .159 average, slapped a first-pitch changeup to the opposite field in short right as Ramos trotted home.
Ryan Walker (1-1) escaped a two-on, no-outs jam in the ninth. Kyle Higashioka popped up a bunt attempt caught by Huff, the catcher, in foul territory and then Walker struck out Josh Smith and pinch-hitter Joc Pederson.
Robbie Ray struck out eight in seven innings, allowing five hits and retiring 14 of his final 15 batters.
Jake Burger hit sacrifice flies in the first and third innings for Texas, which has lost five of eight.
Key moment
Pederson’s strikeout that ended the ninth inning dropped his batting average to .077.
Key stat
Giants reliever Tyler Rogers worked a scoreless eighth inning. He has allowed a run in only one of his 15 outings this season. His ERA is 0.63 (one earned run in 14 1/3 innings).
Up next
Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (2-0, 0.90 ERA) and Giants RHP Jordan Hicks (1-3, 6.59) start Sunday.
