Summary
San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames has struggled this season, but during Sunday’s home game against the Colorado Rockies, he seized the opportunity to shine. The Rockies, tied for second-to-last in baseball with a 5.24 ERA, had recently allowed 10 runs in their previous two games against the Giants. In the bottom of the first inning, Adames took advantage of their poor pitching, hitting a 392-foot home run off Colorado’s German Marquez, showcasing his potential to break out of his slump.
