Since the jewel box ballpark opened in 1912, there had been 238 instances of a Yastrzemski depositing a baseball on the other side of one of Fenway Park's fences. All but one of them belonged to Carl Yastrzemski, who slugged the final homer of his Hall-of-Fame career in 1983, seven years before his only grandson was born. Four decades later, Mike Yastrzemski carried on his family lineage's on this turf, increasing the count to 239 to power the Giants' 3-1 win Thursday afternoon over the Red Sox... His home run was the second he's hit here, having also gone yard during his first visit as a rookie in 2019, and he improved to 6-for-20 with three extra-base hits, four RBIs and six runs scored all-time at Fenway Park.
The Giants salvaged a win in the series finale to avoid a sweep and improve their record at Fenway Park to 3-8 all-time, but they hardly solved their offensive woes. The three runs held up behind a five gritty innings... Mike Yastrzemski hit his second home run at Fenway Park, following his Hall-of-Fame grandfather's footsteps, leading the Giants to a 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
