Ray strikes out 9 and becomes NL's first 8-game winner as Giants beat Padres 3-2

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Robbie Ray struck out nine in seven innings and became the National League's first eight-game winner as the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Thursday. Ray (8-1) allowed two runs and four hits with a walk. The 33-year-old left-hander retired the side in order four times and didn't allow a runner past first base in his final four innings. The 2021 AL Cy Young Award winner struck out four of the first five hitters he faced and retired 11 in a row after Manny Machado's homer run in the third. Randy Rodriguez retired three betters and Camilo Doval set down three for his eighth save. Dominic Smith had three hits, including a two-run ground-rule double that drove in the go-ahead run in the third. Machado hit his 350th career homer and had two RBIs for the Padres. San Diego had runners at second and third in the ninth before Doval struck out Jake Cronenworth swinging. The Giants stranded three runners in the first two innings before finally getting to Padres starter Dylan Cease (1-5) in the third. Willy Adames had a sacrifice fly before Smith hit a drive to center that bounced on the warning track and bounded over the wall, plating two runs. Cease allowed three runs and had seven strikeouts. Key moment Padres hitter Jose Iglesias was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double in the seventh on a one-hop throw by Giants left fielder Jerar Encarnacion. Key stat Ray has had at least seven strikeouts in nine of his 13 starts this season. Up next Giants RHP Hayden Birdsong (3-1, 2.37 ERA) faces the Braves on Friday. Padres RHP Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.99) pitches against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday. ___ AP MLB:

Wilmer Flores draws bases-loaded walk in 10th as Giants beat Athletics 1-0

Wilmer Flores drew a bases-loaded walk on the ninth pitch from Mason Miller with two outs in the 10th inning to bring home Willy Adames and send the San Francisco Giants to a 1-0 win against the Athletics on Saturday night. Miller (0-2) intentionally walked Mike Yastrzemski to bring up Flores with the game on the line a night after the Giants slugger hit three home runs with a grand slam and drove in eight runs in a 9-1 win. Miller walked LaMonte Wade Jr. to start the inning with Adames as the automatic baserunner at second. Camilo Doval (3-1) tossed a perfect ninth for the win in the 2-hour, 23-minute game. A sellout crowd was treated to a pitcher's duel in what for so long was called the Bay Bridge Series but is now being deemed the "Highway 80 Series" since the A's relocated from Oakland to West Sacramento for what is expected to be three seasons before a planned move into a new ballpark in Las Vegas. Landen Roupp, facing the Athletics for the first time, struck out five and allowed five hits pitching six scoreless innings for the Giants before giving way to Randy Rodríguez in the seventh. A's starter Luis Severino escaped a jam in the third. He walked Flores in the third to load the bases the struck out Jung Hoo Lee and Heliot Ramos to end the threat. San Francisco's rotation will have a new look next week, when Hayden Birdsong starts Tuesday against Kansas City and Jordan Hicks moves into the bullpen. Key moment Hoo Lee made a sensational catch on the wall in center field to rob Brent Rooker of a likely extra-base hit for the A's in the first. Tyler Soderstrom followed with a double, making the defensive gem a crucial one. Key stat The A's starters are 1-5 over their last 10 games. Up next Jeffrey Springs (5-3, 4.27 ERA) takes the mound for the A's in the series finale while 42-year-old Justin Verlander (0-3, 4.31) tries again for his first victory of the season in his 10th start since signing a $15 million, one-year contract with the Giants.
