SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patrick Bailey drove in three runs and had four hits, including a two-run homer into McCovey Cove, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-3 on Saturday. Bailey’s home run off Zac Gallen (3-1) landed in a floating kayak and broke a 3-3, fifth-inning tie. It was the 165th splash hit since Oracle Park opened in 2000, the 103rd by a Giants hitter and the first by a switch-hitter since the Cubs’ Robel García in 2019. “It was pretty cool that he gets a four-hit game, hits a ball in the Bay and gets to sign a lot of bobbleheads before the game,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “It ended up being probably a day he’ll never forget.” Bailey went 4 for 4 on a day when the first 15,000 fans received a bobblehead of the catcher, the second four-hit game of Bailey’s big league career. “That dude’s unbelievable,” Giants starter Kyle Harrison said. “The guy’s the truth. If you can do that on your bobblehead night, it’s definitely a day to remember for him.” |
