Giants' Early Power Surge
What a game, Giants fans!
It was a display of our hitting prowess tonight as our San Francisco Giants sailed past the Kansas City Royals with a commanding 7-3 victory. The action began in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Mike Yastrzemski put us on the board with a magnificent two-run homer to right center, bringing Matt Chapman home and igniting the crowd. 
Not to be outdone, Chapman got in on the home run frenzy in the 3rd inning, blasting a three-run shot of his own that sent LaMonte Wade Jr. and Jung Hoo Lee home. The Giants were up 5-0, and the roar in Oracle Park was deafening! 
Dominant Pitching Keeps Royals in Check
Our pitchers brought their A-game today, with Miller relieving Walker in the 3rd inning and taking command on the mound. The Royals had difficulty finding their rhythm, struggling against our solid pitching lineup. Each time they threatened to close the gap, we tightened up and shut down their advances. By the end of the 6th inning, the Royals were left scoreless, and our batters had added another home run by David Villar in the bottom of the 6th, pushing our lead to 7-0.
Closing The Game With Grit
In the 9th inning, the Royals attempted a comeback but our lead was simply too much for them to overcome. A valiant effort saw them score three runs, kickstarted by Nivens’ two-run home run, but it was not enough. Garza sealed the win with a strikeout and flyout to end the game, sending the Giants faithful home with smiles on their faces.
Overall, it was a stellar night for our Giants. The offense was firing on all cylinders and the defense held strong. We look like a team that is ready to make waves this season. Go Giants!
