On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants will continue their series with the Los Angeles Angels at Oracle Park.
They are coming off a 7-6 win on Friday.
UPDATE: The Giants won 9-2 on Saturday.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Area wrote: “The Giants won on a Rafael Devers walk-off. It seems like they’re trying to figure out if it was 8-6 or 7-6. Either way, the losing streak is over, thanks in part to Grant McCray and his 94 mph throw to third.”
