"To start fan appreciation weekend against the Colorado Rockies - and in honor of Hall of Famer Willie McCovey - the Giants honored shortstop Willy Adames as the 2025 Willie Mac Award winner. The award recognizes the team's most inspirational player as voted by teammates, coaches and staff. Adames punctuated the moment with a two-run homer in the first inning, his 29th of the year, for a 2-0 lead."
"He reminded me of Milwaukee. He has a little flair for the dramatic. You can tell he was nervous to get that award with all those guys out there. He got it in his first year here and if you look at the numbers it means a lot to this franchise. And what Willie McCovey means to this team is a pretty cool award that everybody looks forward to and he deserves it."
"That was only half the show. Rookie Trevor McDonald (W, 1-0, 3.60 ERA) earned his first major league win, striking out 10 over seven innings while allowing three runs and no walks on 89 pitches. The 22-year-old right-hander kept the Rockies in check long enough for the offense to build a cushion. The Giants (79-81) added on in the second when Jung Hoo Lee tripled, Grant McCray walked and Heliot Ramos unloaded a 439-foot homer to left-center, his 21st, to make it 5-0."
