Summary
Willy Adames delivered a game-changing grand slam Friday night, sparking a Giants win and reigniting hope for a playoff push — but his performance comes at a critical juncture after a disappointing season. Once a power-hitting force with 30+ homers last year, Adames has been near the bottom of qualified stats in offense and defense, with a plummeting walk rate that’s alarming for a team already struggling to get on base. With a $182M contract and a leadership role, his resurgence is vital — manager Tony Vitello says the whole team looks to him. If Adames can tap back into his 2023 form, the Giants’ playoff chances soar. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
