Yastrzemski's Clutch Double Sparks Giants' Comeback
Trailing 6-3 in the eighth inning, the Giants rallied against Rockies reliever Tyler Kinley. A series of singles by Willy Adames, Heliot Ramos, and Dominic Smith loaded the bases, setting the stage for Casey Schmitt to walk in a crucial run. Mike Yastrzemski then delivered a game-tying two-run double off the right-center field wall, shifting the momentum in favor of San Francisco.
