The San Francisco Giants' offense finally broke out in a big way on Friday night, erupting for a 10-5 victory over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. After being held to three runs or fewer in five consecutive games, the Giants' bats came alive with 15 hits, providing more than enough support for ace Logan Webb.
Heliot Ramos delivered the biggest blow, launching a three-run homer into the center field batter's eye during a decisive six-run second inning. Ramos wasn't done, adding a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to finish with four RBIs. He was part of a relentless offensive effort that saw every starter record at least one hit.
Matt Chapman led the charge with three hits and three RBIs, while Drew Gilbert and Casey Schmitt each added solo home runs. This collective outburst was a welcome sight for a team that entered the game with the lowest scoring average in the majors.
On the mound, Logan Webb (2-2) provided stability, working through six solid innings to earn the win. The right-hander allowed four runs but managed the game effectively, striking out six Nationals batters.
Washington showed fight, with rookies James Wood and Daylen Lile connecting for home runs. However, starter Zack Littell (0-2) was chased early after surrendering eight runs in just four innings of work.
The win marks a positive shift for the Giants, who have now secured two straight victories after a tough four-game skid. They'll look to carry this momentum into Saturday's matchup.
