A's vs. Giants Highlights (5/16/25) | MLB Highlights

Again pick a side here this weekend there'll be plenty of green and gold and obviously orange that will feel Oracle Park for the rivalry between the athletics and the Giants on the hill tonight for the Giants will be the right handed veteran Logan Webb Webb in his sixth year at the big league level six one two hundred twenty five pounder out of Rockland California. So here's Jacob Wilson leading off against Webb and the one to delivery. So you're going to miss. And that's how this game gets started. Well like say it doesn't strike out a whole lot. It better be a really good slider and that's exactly what this was. One out here is Soderstrom and he rolls this one to the Giants shortstop Willie Adonis to down the Sonics to miss out six three and then a bring up Rooker more work for Adonis. And a one to three inning thanks to the digout by Wilmer Flores. Giants are coming up. J.P. Sears on the mound for the green and gold tonight getting this rivalry weekend kicked off and J.P. Sears has been on a nice little run. So here's Ramos Ramos is going to pop this up to center field. J.J. Bladet will make the catch one down Sears will face a Wilmer Flores now right back towards J.P. he ducks and Luis Torres is behind him of the middle for the hours a ground ball out is number two. I'll bring up the left handed hitter in Jung who Lee pop this one up. It'll be in shallow left and Tyler Soderstrom with the catch so the Giants go down one two three. Here's Lawrence Butler Butler doesn't waste any time as he dribbles this one level pick it up and just flip it to Wilmer Flores productive out in a sense that Langley is ends up in scoring position. Here's and to her chops this one to Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald to make the play and on the play Langley is the third a couple of ground outs in a row here in the batter will be J.J. Bladet Bailey sets the target up and in and this is a shot on one hop and a Damas has got it. He's going to throw that one up. They got him beautifully done by Willie Adames on a ball that was just smashed on one very quick hop right at him. Middle of the order coming up for the San Francisco Giants starting with the former athletic in Matt Chapman. That's right back to J.P. Nice reaction from the pitcher and this time he'll do his own work for J.P. So I don't need an L screen. I've got leather. He already tried to throw some leather at one last time out. This time this one either way it's an out. That's what happens when you're an athlete one down and that brings up Willie Adames. Here's the two two from J.P. Sears and he gets him to swing on the four Seamer strikeout for J.P. that's number one two outs here. So you Spremsky goes the other way. He becomes the Giants first baseman and that'll bring up David B.R. The full count again and a swing of this J.P. gets him four Seamer does it a couple of strikeouts for J.P. Sears the lever runner stranded. So now here is Luis Urias get out towards Triple's Alley. Can anybody get there. No. John O'Leary is going to slip. It's going to be a one out double. He may tweak his knee for Urias. He said his feet and his leg buckled. We don't know whether he pulled his ankle or if he buckled his knee. Let's watch the pivot. And it is slick out there. It's that time of the night. Two down here is Soderstrom second inning in a row in which the athletics have gotten a runner over the third base. Webb's got it. And Patrick Bailey switch hitter batting right handed leads off against the left hander J.P. Sears and Bailey with a line drive and a base hit. And it's the first time the Giants have gotten their lead off man on base. Second hit for the Giants and here's Tyler Fitzgerald and he walked him get it back. So the bottom of the lineup has done their job. They have set the table and bringing up the Giants hottest hitter Elliott Ramos. He walked a couple of walks issue by J.P. bases loaded. Nobody out. Wilmer Flores coming up. He's the Giants leading RBI producer and the bases are loaded here. The Giants with visions of a big inning I'm sure right now. Hammered the back side of some look at the Sears. You know that many pitches into it in fact with the bases loaded and you work it into a challenge situation you pay the ultimate price. What a battle. And Wilmer wins the battle in a big way. The bases were loaded and he knocked them all in the one out here is Langley as he walked leading off the second back up the middle. Now Fitzgerald the long throw in time. I think one of the really fun plays for any infielders when they can slide into a ball that get quickly up to their feet with the second baseman he's sliding away from the bag that he's going to throw to. And when you have a strong arm like Fitzgerald not a problem. So two down and here is Butler struck him out. Now that is a big time shut down inning. Well now the A's have something going and normally you're not going to get too many chances against this guy on to hard a second Kurtz at first and that will bring up Luis Urias. Softly hit Chapman from the glove to get the out at second. Matt Chapman and being very creative and we've seen that before. So now Jacob Wilson right to Fitzgerald at second he throws him out Logan Webb gets out of the game. Grant Holman comes out of the bullpen to work here in this bottom of the fifth. There is Willie Adamas. Warren Sputler on the move in right. Well he got on his horse early and you can see the ground he covers goes into that slide. Take a look here. Looked fairly clean. Now Wilmer Flores up again. He hit a grand slam in the third. Now he's got two men on and one out here in the sixth. Two and one the count deep left center field and it's a three run homer for Wilmer Flores and he has knocked in seven in this game. Career high seven RBI for Wilmer and the Giants now lead seven to nothing. Wilmer Flores has all all of the runs batted in. It's the eighth inning. The Giants ahead seven to nothing. Logan Webb who's allowed only two hits facing the first baseman Nick Kurtz big chopper to and I mean big chopper at last hop took off one away. And here is Urias Rios off the plate. The Baltimore chop to the pitcher. What a nifty try for Logan Webb. He's not going to get it there in time but bounce it right out of that glove into the bare hand. There you go. And that'll bring up Max Schumann and Schumann is going to find a hole on the right side first and second. Now that was pitch number 100 for Logan Webb and I would have to believe this is probably going to be his last inning. So here's Tyler Soderstrom. Here's the ground ball. It's on the right side again. Opportunity for the pitch close to the body line for Sote. He's able to open up and get to it. Wilmer can't handle it cleanly. Neither can Fitz. But there you see Bailey trying to reach across his body and go back for the time. And now Logan Webb is having a stressful inning. A run is in three straight hits for the athletics. None of them hit hard tune were infield hits. Webb's got it. That's one and two just like that. But just like that it is seven to one San Francisco. Now Wilmer Flores tenth time in his career and he's had multiple home runs in the same game. High fly ball the left hit Dave and. He's done it again. What a night for Wilmer Flores. He's not in all of the Giants runs eight to one Giants. It's the ninth inning Camilo Doval in for the Giants bullpen. He struck it out Camilo Doval puts a final exclamation point on the whole thing as he strikes out the side in the ninth inning and the Giants defeat the athletics nine to one.
