Jerar Encarnacion, Mike Yastrzemski, and Matt Chapman homered as part of a 17-hit attack, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 13-2 blowout of the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The Giants’ offense came out swinging in the early going and never looked back, leaving the Brewers reeling in their 11-run wake.
San Francisco wasted no time in putting up a crooked number, scoring in the first and second innings against their Milwaukee counterparts. Brewers starter Corbin Burnes was on the ropes early, as Jerar Encarnacion’s huge blast to deep left put the Giants on the board in the first, the very first of a barrage of home runs on the night for the Giants. A single by Wilmer Flores, an RBI groundout by J.D. Davis, and a single from Joey Bart with 2 outs in the second increased the advantage in the home half to 4-0, forcing Corbin Burnes to be lifted in the 3rd with the damage already done.
The high-powered offense of the San Francisco Giants then exploded on a multi-run homer from Mike Yastrzemski which left the stands in the bottom of the fifth, adding an additional 3 runs to the already out-of-reach deficit for the now dazed Brewers team. Matt Chapman then played the cleanup role in a perfectly orchestrated sequence as Yastrzemski took the action station this time to make additional runs for a newly created sizeable advantage over their struggling opponents. Not content with a large advantage for long, the fifth ended 10-0 and still counting in a mounting insurrection led by Joc Pederson who homered against his former team as part of a breakout and the night came to a crushing 13-2 score with most players finishing the blowout almost on key at nearly high levels of output in all offensive team stats.
Blake Snell rebounded from a poor outing with five strong innings to record his seventh win of the 2024 campaign for the team, toying effectively with the lineups as he moved up through five. An RBI groundout from Luis Urias accounted for the scoring total by the visiting Milwaukee Brewers as Blake Snell led the shutdown charge in San Francisco to earn a victory behind this impressive display of power from the home hitters. Further insurance was gathered to bolster and seal the one-sided baseball affair, bringing good fortune to Giants who demonstrated why they were heavy favorites over a battered visiting foe on this clear day of reckoning for Milwaukee while maintaining a lopsided statistical superiority over the nearly routed visiting rivals and resulting in a final tally of 13-2.
