San Francisco won 8-2 on Labor Day at Colorado, entering a six-game road trip after winning eight of nine with a +34 run differential. The club is 69-69, at .500 for the first time since Aug. 10, yet sits five games behind the Mets for the final NL wild card with 24 games remaining. Landen Roupp and Randy Rodriguez are out for the season. The team extended a 15-game home run streak highlighted by Rafael Devers' 114.5 mph Statcast-era hardest-hit long ball. Willy Adames has 26 homers and Drew Gilbert has pushed for more playing time with multi-hit games. Kai-Wei Teng allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings.
The Giants began a six-game road trip with an 8-2 Labor Day victory over the Colorado Rockies. They've won eight of their last nine games, boasting a run differential of +34 during this stretch. At 69-69, they're at .500 for the first time since Aug. 10. Still, San Francisco made up no ground. The New York Mets, owners of the final NL wild card spot, won a whirlwind game against the Detroit Tigers.
With long balls from Rafael Devers, Drew Gilbert and Willy Adames, the Giants extended their streak of games with a home run to 15, their longest since 2001. Devers not only hit his second homer in as many games, but he set the record for the hardest-hit long ball by a Giant in the Statcast era (since 2015) with a 114.5 mph line drive over the right-field fence.
