Rafael Devers homered and drove in four runs as the San Francisco Giants beat Philadelphia 5-0 on Wednesday for their second consecutive shutout against the Phillies.<\/p>\n
Tyler Mahle and four relievers combined on a four-hitter for the Giants, who blanked Philadelphia 6-0 on four hits Tuesday night behind Robbie Ray and two relievers to halt a four-game losing streak. <\/p>\n
Willy Adames and Luis Arraez each had two hits and scored twice at the top of the batting order for San Francisco (5-8), which took two of three games from the Phillies for its second series win of the year. <\/p>\n
Philadelphia (6-6) hasn’t won a series in San Francisco since 2013.<\/p>\n
Devers launched a three-run shot to center field off starter Aaron Nola (1-1) with two outs in the sixth inning, snapping a scoreless tie with his second homer this season.<\/p>\n
Adames scored from first base in the eighth on a throwing error by reliever Jos\u00e9 Alvarado after he fielded Arraez’s sacrifice bunt. Devers added an RBI single to make it 5-0.<\/p>\n
Mahle pitched 5 2\/3 innings, giving up three hits and four walks while striking out six. Matt Gage, Caleb Killian, Blade Tidwell and Erik Miller shut down the Phillies the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
Gage (1-0) got two outs for his first major league win.<\/p>\n
Nola allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked one. The right-hander had permitted four runs in his first two starts.<\/p>\n
Mahle retired Alec Bohm on a grounder with runners at second and third to end the third.<\/p>\n
