Luis Matos’ first career home run leads SF Giants over D-backs, Merrill Kelly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:05:19 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — In his first week and a half in the majors, Luis Matos had just about done it all. But the Giants’ 21-year-old rookie was still seeking his first career home run.It couldn’t have come at a more opportune time.Matos lined a letter-high fastball from Merrill Kelly over the left-field wall for a two-run shot in the sixth inning Saturday that gave the Giants the lead in a 7-6 win, their 12th in their past 13 games, pulling within 1½ games of the D-backs (46-32) for first place in the NL West. At 44-33, the Giants are further above .500 than at any point in 2022.The only doubt about it was whether it would stay fair. Matos swung with such a fury that his follow through took him toward the left-handed batter’s box, where he watched the ball’s trajectory down the left-field line while still holding his bat in his left hand. He pounded his chest and blew a kiss to the sky upon touching home plate, before returning to a tunnel of high fives in the thir...

Scooter’s journey from death’s doorstep to global stardom via the Sonoma-Marin Fair affirms his owner’s claims that he is “not only surviving but thriving.”“His handicap ...
