‘We were in awe’: Giants’ Heliot Ramos has career night vs. Blue Jays

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos did something that hasn’t been done in Giants history since 1920.

San Francisco defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a final score, 10-1, on Monday, July 6. However, player of the game nods went straight to Ramos after putting together a performance in which he cracked three home runs – a “little league” homer and then two real ones smacked into the stands.

It was a career night for Ramos. He became the first Giants player since 1920 to record two home runs and a “little league” home run in the same game.

“Just working a lot on my path, on the way that I was swinging to day in the cage and BP (batting practice),” Ramos told NBC Sports Bay Area in a post game broadcast interview. “I just felt pretty good about it honestly.”

Maybe it was the breakfast he had, which Ramos said he cooked himself: sausages, eggs, toast and hash browns. His go-to. For what it’s worth, he walked to grab a coffee.

Maybe the extra caffeine from the morning kept him energized throughout the day leading up to the game. He finished the game going 3-for-5, which included 5 RBIs. He accounted for three runs, himself.

He opened the game with a triple in the bottom first inning, but a throwing error from Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez allowed Ramos to score.

Ramos delivered a three-run homer in the bottom sixth inning, sending one 349 feet into right field, bringing in Willy Adames and Víctor Bericoto. But he wasn’t done there.

It was his second homer that really sealed the deal as Ramos expected a fastball and took a swing that put the ball over the wall in left-center field. Bryce Eldridge scored as Ramos rounded the bases to put the final touches on the 10-1 win.

“We were in awe of the second home run, I should say,” Giants skipper Tony Vitello told reporters. “It was almost like that one was separate than the first. You know what kind of power, especially in this stadium, he’s got going the other way, but that was kind of one that everybody was thunderstruck on.”

He added: “It’s always good anytime he does something positive, you’re excited and happy, because he’s always happy. You guys are around him in the locker room, and all those things. … So, a positive influence in a lot of different ways.”
