Jackson Chourio's two-run home run and Frankie Montas's stellar six-inning performance led the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

The Brewers expanded their lead in the NL Central, reducing their magic number to seven, while Chourio made history as the youngest player with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in MLB.

Despite multiple scoring chances, the Giants couldn't convert, as Milwaukee's defense and Devin Williams's closing solidified the win.

The San Francisco Giants defeated the San Diego Padres 7-6, highlighted by a six-run fourth inning featuring home runs from Matt Chapman, Jerar Encarnacion, and Luis Matos. This win marked the Giants' first winning record in San Diego since 2021 and increased their lead in the season series to 6-4.

Despite leading 7-1, the Giants nearly let the game slip away as the Padres scored three runs in the seventh inning due to defensive errors. Erik Miller earned the win, while Joe Musgrove took the loss after allowing six runs in just over 4 innings.

In a thrilling matchup, San Francisco Giants rookie Grant McCray showcased his power by homering twice and driving in five runs, leading his team to a 6-3 victory over the San Diego Padres.

McCray's first homer, a three-run shot off Dylan Cease, shifted the game's momentum. Despite his youth and inexperience, he expressed confidence in his ability to hit, especially against tougher pitchers. Manager Bob Melvin praised McCray's hitting technique and development, contributing to the Giants' win.

The San Francisco Giants are in an interesting position as the trade deadline approaches, considering whether to buy, sell, or take a middle ground approach. With the new Wild Card format, they are still in the running despite being below .500. The team's offense has shown improvement, and the pitching staff could get a boost with returning starters. The decision will ultimately fall on Farhan Zaidi, who must weigh the team's future against the present season's performance.
