San Francisco, CA – The chemistry on this team is remarkable. Just a few pieces added during the offseason has shown the Giants have every opportunity to return to the postseason. The contributions given in each game is a sign that this team’s playing good baseball.

San Francisco won the 2-1 decision over the Twins and improved to 5-0 in Interleague play this season. They clinched the three-game series and won six of their last seven games against Minnesota. The Giants now own the best record in the Majors.

“We had an opportunity and that’s what you look for,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Not enough offense tonight and mostly that’s because of their pitching staff.”

“We’re playing good baseball,” said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. “We’ve been hitting on all facts to this point. The pitching has really come around and we’ve been clicking.”

Ryan Vogelsong pitched six shutout innings and lowered his ERA from 9.00 to start the season to 3.20 after tonight’s win. This is the 12th time in his career he’s tossed six or more innings and not allowed a run. San Francisco is 5-1 in his last six starts.

“I’m always pitching not to give up any runs,” Vogelsong said.

He walked off to a standing ovation in the seventh after tossing 6 2/3 innings. Vogelsong allowed three hits, one walk and seven strikeouts. The bullpen came in and backed the righty until the ninth. Closer Sergio Romo who won his 16th save surrendered a solo home run to Josmil Pinto to lead off the frame.

“I feel like when I’m out there I can throw anything at any count,” said Vogelsong. “And that’s always a great feeling. It’s not always like that. The last couple of games it’s felt like that.”

Pablo Sandoval had another spectacular night on offense. He took pitcher Samuel Deduno deep for his sixth home run and second in the series. He gave the Giants a 1-0 lead to start off the second inning and drove in the second run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. It was Sandoval’s fourth homer in his last six games.

“Good swinging,” Sandoval said. “I feel great right now at the plate. I’m trying to use the whole field, use the gaps… I just try to put the bat on the ball. I fight off pitches with strikes and try to get a good pitch to hit.”

Alameda County

The Board of Supervisors is committed to closing the deal expeditiously, and County staff have worked tirelessly to move the deal forward on mutually agreeable terms.

The County of Alameda announced this week that a deal allowing the Oakland Acquisition Company, LLC, (“OAC”) to acquire the County’s 50% undivided interest in the Oakland- Alameda County Coliseum complex is in the final stages of completion.

Oakland has already finalized a purchase and sale agreement with OAC for its interest in the property. OAC’s acquisition of the County’s property interest will achieve two longstanding goals of the County:

The Oakland-Alameda Coliseum complex will finally be under the control of a sole owner with capacity to make unilateral decisions regarding the property; and
The County will be out of the sports and entertainment business, free to focus and rededicate resources to its core safety net

In an October 2024 press release from the City of Oakland, the former Oakland mayor described the sale of its 50% interest in the property as an “historic achievement” stating that the transaction will “continue to pay dividends for generations to come.”

The Board of Supervisors is pleased to facilitate single-entity ownership of this property uniquely centered in a corridor of East Oakland that has amazing potential.

“The County is committed to bringing its negotiations with OAC to a close,” said Board President David Haubert.
