DONNY BARRELS!!💥⚾️💥
It’s rare that a team has one moment like the one the Giants had Saturday, when LaMonte Wade Jr. stunned the A’s with a two-run homer in the ninth that proved to be the game winner, but the Giants did it again just 23 hours later. Donovan Solano matched Wade with his own two-run shot, turning a disappointing afternoon into a 2-1 win and a series victory.
The Giants have been setting the bar all season when it comes to pinch-hitting, but those two swings took them to a different level. They became the first team in MLB history to get pinch-hit homers in the eighth inning or later to turn a deficit into a lead in back-to-back games.
P.S. The Giants lead MLB with 187 HRs. And Solano’s stunning two-run home run marked the 14th pinch-hit homer the Giants have hit this season, tying the franchise record set back in 2001. The 14 pinch homers lead the majors by a considerable margin as the next closest team, the Rockies, have hit nine this season.
Punky G. (G stands for Giants!)
