Longoria 2 HRs, 5 RBIs, Giants win 10 of 11, beat Dbacks October 1 sharefacebooktwitterredditlink SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Evan Longoria homered twice and drove in five runs as the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-4 Friday night for their 10th win in 11 games.Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Wynns also went deep as San Francisco (79-78) moved above .500 for the first time since Aug. 17.The Giants also kept their slim wild-card hopes going with five games remaining, though a lo s or a win by Bob Lanier Jersey Philadelphia will eliminate them.The timing of the Giants' hot streak proves frustrating for right-hander Alex Cobb (7-7), who picked up the victory with five innings of four-run ball.Its been great, (but its) a little late, Cobb said. Thats all Ive really got to say about it. Its been good baseball, just too late. If we just stopped some of those skids we had earlier, we wouldnt be in this position.San Francisco is trying to become the third team in major league history to finish at or above .500 after being eight games under with 16 or fewer games to play. The last team to accomplish that was the 1925 Cardinals.Merrill Kelly (13-8), who came in 3-0 with Jordan Bone Jersey a 1.53 ERA against the Giants this season, served up three homers and was tagged for eight runs in 4 2/3 innings. I think he never found a rhythm, and he certainly made some middle-middle mistakes, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. When you make mistakes in the zone, and that happens from time to time, youre going to give up some runs.Longoria, who has mi sed a combined 54 games over three stints on the injured list, hit a three-run drive in a four-run first. The next inning, he delivered a two-run homer to center. Twice this season, hes homered in both the first and second innings of a game. Hes the first player in franchise history to do that twice in the same season.Before Longorias homer in the second, Joc Pederson took a wild ride around the bases, leading off the inning with a triple that ricocheted off the right- field wall and bounced back toward the infield. He came home to score on the Allen Iverso Jersey play when Josh Rojas throw from the outfield skipped past the cutoff man.Pederson put his head down after he made contact, not thinking the ball would carry like it did in the crisp air at Oracle Park. He began running hard after the ball caromed off the wall.Hes been one of our best all year, Longoria said of Pederson. Just seeing him running around like that -- ran right through the stop sign, didnt care -- and was safe. It was fun to watch.WILLIE MAC WINNERINF Wilmer Flores was honored before the game as the Giants 2022 recipient of the Willie Mac Award, given annually to the player who best exemplifies the competitive spirit, ability and leadership of Giants Hall of Famer Willie McCovey. The award is voted on by Giants players, coaches, staff and fans.Flores addre sed the home crowd during a pregame presentation and got to catch the ceremonial first pitch from his father, Wilmer Sr. He entered the night hitting just .231, but a sacrifice fly in the sixth gave him a team-high 71 RBIs.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: INF Ketel Marte was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason before Fridays game Detroit Pistons Hats , ending his season. Marte originally was in the lineup at second base, but Rojas shifted from third to second and Emmanuel Rivera started at third. Marte, who turns 29 later this month, hit .240 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs in 137 games. INF Buddy Kennedy was recalled from Triple-A Reno to take his roster spot.UP NEXTRHP Drey Jameson (2-0, 0.98) goes Saturday for Arizona in his fourth career start. Hes allowed just two runs over 18 1/3 innings in his first three outings. The Giants have yet to announce their starter.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports in this topic National League Major League Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Joc Pederson Merrill Kelly Josh Rojas Alex Cobb Wilmer Flores Emmanuel Rivera Mike Yastrzemski Evan Longoria Austin Jerami Grant Jersey Wynns Ketel Marte Arizona Diamondbacks San Francisco Giants share Ronaldo looks to shine like Mbapp and Me si at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Me si and Kylian Mbapp so far at the World Cup 11 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ottawa hosts Los Angeles after Giroux's 2-goal game The Ottawa Senators host the Los Angeles Kings after Claude Giroux's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the Senators' 5-2 win 47 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins host the Blue Jackets following Kapanen's hat trick The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Columbus Blue Jackets Louis King Jersey after Kasperi Kapanen's hat trick against the St. Louis Blues in the Penguins' 6-2 win 47 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ducks bring losing streak into game against the Hurricanes The Anaheim Ducks aim to end their six-game losing streak when they play the Carolina Hurricanes 48 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Blackhawks face the Metropolitan Division-leading Devils The Chicago Blackhawks face the top-ranked team in the Metropolitan Division, the New Jersey Devils 48 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS
