Game Wrap 8/24/2025: Giants 4 Brewers 3

Heliot Ramos' 2-run single in the top of the 9'th inning gave the Giants the lead and Ryan Walker came through with the Save.  Key Lines:

Heliot Ramos LF- 1 for 5, 2 RBI.  BA= .260.  Ramos had just a single out of 5 AB's but it was the the winning hit of the game and seemingly almost impossible conditions of checkerboard sunlight on the field from a partially open roof and Trevor Megill RHP throwing hundos.  

Willy Adames SS- 2 for 3, 2 BB, SB(7).  BA= .225.  Adames reached base 4 times but did no figure into the scoring.

Matt Chapman 3B- 1 for 4, 2B, R.  BA= .227.  Chapman's tailing double to R-CF started the winning rally and again, I don't know how the he and the Giants mounted that really with the patching sunlight covering the infield. At time I felt like the batters were guessing both pitch and location and hoping for the best although I am sure that was not the case.

Luis Matos RF/LF- 2 for 4, HR(7), 2 R, 2 RBI.  BA= .209.  Matos' HR gave the Giants an early 2-run lead in the 2'nd inning.  It came after a 2-out single by Wilmer Flores.  He also kept line moving in the winning 9'th inning rally and scored the winning run.  This was Matos' 4'th 2-hit game in a row with 5 of the 8 hits going for extra bases plus 2 walks.  Caution that we've seen Matos go on tears before. The key here is sustainability.

Robbie Ray LHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 3 H, 4 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 2.93.  A ragged start for Ray but he battled through 5 innings and left his team a chance to win.

Joel Peguero RHP- 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 0.00.  Love those easy triple digits.  

Ryan Walker RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(11).  ERA= 3.63.  Maybe Walker's most impressive Save of the season.  If he keeps that up he could go into next season as the presumptive Closer.  Buster better have a back up plan though.

I am sure the Giants had a happy flight home and have tomorrow off and where have we heard that before?  Justin Verlander RHP starts the first game of series against the Cubs on Tuesday facing TBD.
