Adames suffers scary head injury as Brewers hammered by Giants
Mitch Haniger, JD Davis and Patrick Bailey combined for 10 hits and 10 RBIs and Alex Wood tagteamed with Tristan Beck on a four-hitter as the San Francisco Giants romped past the hosts Milwaukee Brewers 15-1 on Friday.
The game was marred by a scary second-inning incident in the home dugout when Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was hit on the side of the head by a foul liner. Adames was able to walk to the clubhouse and an evaluation at a hospital shortly thereafter showed no fractures. However, he was hospitalised overnight for further examination.
Haniger homered as part of a threerun second and Davis went deep in a two-run seventh, helping the Giants win for the ninth time in 11 games. They broke the game open with a seven-run third capped by a three-run homer from Brett Wisely.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta (5-4) gave up 10 runs (five earned) on eight hits in 2⅓ innings. Wood (1-0) was pulled with two outs in the sixth, leading 12-1. He allowed one run and three hits. Beck pitched the final 3⅓ innings to earn his first career save.
Hunter Greene matched a career high with 11 strike-outs over six no-hit innings but left after throwing 110 pitches, and Cincinnati smashed a season-high 19 hits during a 9-0 rout of hosts Chicago.
Greene (1-4) allowed just two walks.
Eduardo Salazar, in his second major league appearance, pitched a perfect seventh before yielding singles to Christopher Morel and Miles Mastrobuoni in the eighth.
Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, Tyler Stephenson and Stuart Fairchild each had three hits as Cincinnati posted their fourth win in 12 games. The Reds roughed up Chicago starter Justin Steele (6-2), who lasted a season-low 3⅔ innings and allowed season highs in runs (six), five earned, and hits (10).
Yandy Diaz had two doubles, a home run and two RBIs and Tampa Bay defeated Los Angeles 9-3 in St Petersburg, Florida.
Jose Siri tacked on a two-run homer in the eighth inning as part of the Rays’ 13-hit attack. Cooper Criswell (1-1), who gave up one run in four innings of relief, collected his first big-league win.
Noah Syndergaard (1-4) pitched six innings for the Dodgers but allowed six runs on eight hits.
