SAN FRANCISCO - The Giants are heading into the All-Star break with a little lift after a rough first half, and Sunday’s 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park gave them exactly that. San Francisco took three of four from its division opponent and found a way to close out the series on a cleaner note.
The biggest swing came in the eighth, when the Giants broke a 1-1 tie by turning chaos on the bases into two runs. With runners at the corners, Grant McCray came on to pinch-run for Bryce Eldridge and immediately put pressure on Colorado.
He broke for second, forcing a throw from catcher Hunter Goodman, and that throw skipped into center field. Rafael Devers, stationed at third, scored on the miscue to put San Francisco in front.
Willy Adames then added another run with a broken-bat single that brought McCray home after he had moved to third on Goodman’s error.
That late burst backed up a strong recovery from rookie Trevor McDonald, who shook off a rough outing against the Toronto Blue Jays and gave the Giants a much-needed stabilizing start. McDonald allowed one run, matched his season high with seven innings and did it all on just 73 pitches.
His day started badly, though, when Jake McCarthy launched an inside-the-park home run on McDonald’s second pitch of the game. McCarthy turned an 0-1 fastball into a shot to Triples Alley and kept running after Jung Hoo Lee fumbled the ball in right field. The play was first ruled a triple with an error before being changed to an inside-the-park homer.
San Francisco had already pulled even in the fourth. Bryce Eldridge drew a walk against Colorado starter Michael Lorenzen, Adames followed with a single to left that moved Eldridge into scoring position, and Drew Gilbert then singled him home to make it 1-1.
Before the game, the Giants made a roster move of their own by reinstating right-handed reliever Jason Foley from the 60-day injured list and optioning right-handed reliever Spencer Bivens to Triple-A Sacramento.
Foley signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Giants in the offseason and has spent the year working back from right shoulder surgery, which he underwent in May 2025. The 30-year-old has not pitched in the majors since 2024, but he brings a track record that includes a 3.16 ERA over 199 2/3 innings, 150 strikeouts and 35 saves in 42 opportunities.
The Giants also have another pitching-adjacent roster note coming after the break: outfielder Bo Davidson, their No. 4 prospect per Baseball America, is set to be promoted from Double-A Richmond to Triple-A Sacramento, according to a source. That move comes as outfielder Dakota Jordan, the team’s No. 7 prospect, is being promoted from High-A Eugene to Richmond so both players can keep working in center field.
Davidson, 24, hit .277/.340/.521 with 19 home runs and 14 steals in 73 games for Richmond. The undrafted outfielder was named Eastern League Player of the Month for June after batting .309 with 11 home runs, which the source said is the most in a calendar month in franchise history.

Giants May Have Just Made A Draft Pick To Watch Closely
The Giants draft board leaned hard toward arms, with eight pitchers taken among their first 11 selections and Jackson Flora headlining the class in the first round. Even so, the club made one of its more interesting swings late by taking high school outfielder Josiah Kemp in the 12th round, a name that stands out not just because of his position but because of the family tie attached to it.
Kemp is the nephew of former major leaguer Matt Kemp, which gives the pick a little extra intrigue for a franchise that knows plenty about facing that surname in the division. The catch is that Kemp is committed to Oklahoma University, so the Giants will have some work to do if they want to turn the selection into an actual signing. [Read more 🡒]
Giants May Have Found Three Draft Gems After The Headliners
After the Giants took care of the headliners in the 2026 MLB Draft, the late rounds may have offered some of the more intriguing value on their board. Third baseman Drew Smith out of Oregon and outfielder Tanner Malley from Western Michigan both fit the kind of profile teams hope to uncover after the early buzz fades, with Smith bringing a productive college track record and Malley arriving as a high-contact bat who gave Western Michigan a lot to like.
The bigger question now is how much of that upside actually makes it into the system. Late-round picks always come with a layer of uncertainty, and for San Francisco the appeal is obvious: if even one of these players develops the way their college production suggests, the draft could look a lot deeper than it did on paper on day one.

Luis Arraez Just Sent Giants Fans A Clear Message About His Future
Luis Arraezs first half has put him in the middle of a familiar July conversation for a player on a one-year deal: he is producing well enough to draw attention, and that has only intensified the chatter around what the Giants might do before the deadline. The All-Star selection only added to the spotlight, giving San Francisco another reminder that one of its most prominent bats is also one of the most movable names on the roster.
The timing matters now, with only a couple of weeks after the All-Star break before early August forces the front office to make a call. For a Giants team trying to balance the present and the future, Arraez has become the kind of player contenders monitor closely, because his value could help shape the next phase of the roster if San Francisco decides to listen.
