Giants Manager Says the Team is "Lucky" to Have Casey Schmitt Amid Infield Injury Willy Adames, while not in the same free fall that he was during the first month of the season, is still grossly underperforming,

Adames wasn't in the lineup for the first time this season — a head-clearing break — in San Francisco's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Starting Friday night, the Giants will start a three-game set with the Dodgers, with first place in the National League West on the line. Yes, we’re not even halfway through the baseball season — have you even put in an All-Star ballot yet? — but did anyone expect the Giants to be in such a position last October? What about in January?

Willy Adames has yet to live up to the billing of the franchise-record seven-year, $182 million contract he signed with the Giants this offseason. President of baseball operations Buster Posey had a simple, two-word message for fans when he went on KNBR’s “Murph and Markus” this past Thursday. “Be patient,” Posey said.

Mike Yastrzemski’s two-run double in the eighth inning keyed another San Francisco rally, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 for their seventh straight victory.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's victory over the Rockies.
