Giants 9, Red Sox 5

Raffy didn't homer against us this time, but Mike Yastrzemski, Casey Schmitt, and Willy Adames all homered against us and Boston loses back-to-back games in San Francisco. Raffy did score on a Heliot Ramos double in the seventh, though, so there's that.

The wind must have been blowing out today. Refsnyder and Romy González both homered in the fifth, and Rafaela homered in the sixth to give the Sox a brief 5-4 lead. But the Sox gave up four runs in the seventh, including one on a González fielding error, and Adames' HR in the eighth gave the Giants their four-run, final lead. 

And with that, Boston gives up the last spot in the Wild Card standings to Cleveland.

On to L.A. for a series against the Angels (37-40). Tomorrow (9:38 pm Eastern) Walker Buehler (5-5, 5.95) goes against someone named Jack Kochanowicz (3-8, 5.38) to end this Pac Rim road trip.
