WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — – Casey Schmitt<\/a> hit two home runs and drove in three, Trevor McDonald<\/a> struck out five in 6 2\/3 innings, and the San Francisco Giants<\/a> beat the Athletics 6-4 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

McDonald (2-0) surrendered five hits and one run in his fifth major league start. Matt Gage<\/a> pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first career save.<\/p>\n

Schmitt’s first homer was a 370-foot solo shot with two outs in the first inning off Luis Severino<\/a> (2-5).<\/p>\n

The Giants have now homered in 11 of their last 12 games and improved to 3-3 on their road trip. They had at least one hit in every inning, and a multibase hit in all but two.<\/p>\n

Willy Adames<\/a> added a bases-loaded RBI single in the third, but he was thrown out at second to end the inning. Schmitt tacked on his second homer of the night in the fifth, a 355-footer to right field.<\/p>\n

Matt Chapman<\/a> added a run with a seventh-inning RBI double to make it 6-1, but Brent Rooker<\/a> hit a 407-foot three-run shot on Caleb Kilian<\/a>‘s first pitch out of the bullpen in the eighth to cut the Giants’ lead to two.<\/p>\n

Jeff McNeil<\/a> got the first run across for the A’s after his forceout allowed Lawrence Butler<\/a> to score. Nick Kurtz<\/a> drew an eighth-inning walk to extend his on-base streak to 39 games, tying Jason Giambi for the fourth-longest in A’s history in the expansion era (since 1961).<\/p>\n

Severino gave up 10 hits and five runs while striking out seven in six innings.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Giants RHP Adrian Houser<\/a> (1-4, 5.79 ERA) takes the hill opposite A’s LHP Jeffrey Springs<\/a> (3-3, 4.22) in the series rubber match.<\/p>\n
