Giants rally past Athletics 2-1 with ninth‑inning homers

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Oakland Athletics 2–1 on June 24, 2026 after Rafael Devers tied the game with a ninth‑inning home run and Victor Bericoto delivered the winning blast moments later. Giants starter Tyler Mahle carried a no‑hit bid into the fifth before allowing a soft liner from Jacob Wilson. Reliever Elvis Alvarado blew the save, and Erik Miller earned the win for San Francisco. Oakland’s Max Muncy had homered in the eighth to break a scoreless tie, and Gage Jump (3‑1, 2.37 ERA) pitched a solid five innings for the Athletics.

Earlier in the series, the Athletics won the first game 5–2 behind Hogan Harris, while the Giants captured the second 3–1 on Kyle Harrison’s pitching. The Bay Bridge Series marked the final regular‑season meetings between the two clubs in the Bay Area before the Athletics relocate to Sacramento. Both teams entered the June 23 matchup with mixed form: the A’s were on a four‑game losing streak, and the Giants hovered near the bottom of the NL West. Injuries plagued both clubs, with key players such as Brent Rooker (A’s) and Luis Arraez (Giants) on the IL. The comeback win gave San Francisco its first home series victory since late May.
