MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mitch Haniger and the San Francisco Giants are beginning to recover from their slow starts.

Haniger hit a home run and had four runs to help the Giants win 15-1 over Milwaukee on Friday night after the Brewers lost Willy Adames when he was hit by a foulball in the dugout.

San Francisco (26-25) won for the ninth time in 11 games, climbing above .500 for the first time this season.

“We played great,” said Haniger, who went 3-5 to increase his batting average from .193 to .215. “Great pitch. good shot. good defence. I just have to keep going.”

Adames was taken to the hospital after being hit by a line drive by teammate Brian Anderson late in the second inning. Videos appeared to show Adames was hit in the head as he watched from the dugout.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said the tests found no fractures, adding Adames will remain hospitalized overnight and will be placed on the injured list.

“He was alert and responsive when he left, and then we got some pretty good news at the hospital, too,” Counsell said. “Obviously he’s in pain. But I think overall it’s not bad news considering how scary it was.”

His injury seemed to shake the Brewers, who had two penalties early in the third inning and conceded seven runs while the Giants stretched their lead from 3-1 to 10-1.

“Willy is the catalyst for this team,” said Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau. “What he brings to this team, what he means to this team, to see him go down like that and no one knows how serious it is, that’s pretty scary, pretty scary.”

The Giants have outplayed the Brewers 20-1 in the first two games of this four-game series.

Haniger hit 3 of 5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double. Patrick Bailey had 4-of-5 with three RBIs. JD Davis had 3-of-6 with three runs and three RBIs, including a two-run home run. Brett Wisely hit a three-run homer for 2 for 5. Mike Yastrzemski was 3 of 5 and hit two runs. Michael Conforto scored three runs.

San Francisco’s Alex Wood (1-0) went 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run and three hits while notching five strikeouts and five walks. Tristan Beck threw a one-hit relief 3 1/3 innings, earning his first save of his career.

Wood and Beck were effective enough to allow the Giants to rest their bullpen one night after using six different pitchers in a 5-0 win over the Brewers.

“It’s huge, huge, just as important as anything else that happened tonight,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It took a beating on our entire bullpen. You needed it. You worked really hard.”

Brewers starter Freddy Peralta (5-4) gave up eight hits and ten runs in just 2 1/3 innings, the best of his career. Only five of the runs he allowed were earned.

Peralta considers Adames a close friend and acknowledged the shortstop’s injury affected him.

“It was really hard for me because of some of the feelings inside me and all of that,” Peralta said. “I knew I had a game and had to get back to the mound. But I had it in mind.”

Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau earned ninth place and retired the team in turn. This was the second time he had a scoreless inning this weekend. Brosseau also scored the ninth goal in Monday’s 12-2 loss to the Houston Astros.

Brewers remember Small

The Brewers recalled LHP Ethan Small from Triple-A Nashville and traded RHP Tyson Miller to Nashville.

Small had a 2.33 ERA in 12 assists for Nashville, going 0-2. He allowed five runs and nine hits while throwing three innings in relief against the Giants on Friday.

TRAINING ROOM

Giants IF Thairo Estrada was out of the starting XI due to a left wrist injury.

NEXT

RHP Logan Webb (3-5, 2.91 ERA) will shoot for the Giants and RHP Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.97) will start for the Brewers on Saturday.

In addition to the 7.87 million square feet of unlet office space now distributed throughout the city of San Francisco, up from 6.7 million square feet of unlet space three months ago, there is now an additional 7.99 million square feet of office space, according to Cushman & Wakefield Rented space that is vacant and offered for sublet. That equates to 7.2 million square feet of sublet space at the end of last year.

This means that there is now 15.85 million square meters of vacant office space across the city, which corresponds to a vacancy rate of 18.7 percent. This corresponds to a vacancy rate of 16.7 percent three months ago compared to a vacancy rate of 6.0 percent at the same time last year. This does not include a further 1.3 million square meters of space that is either under construction or is currently being renovated.

While leasing activity rose from a 30-year low at the end of 2020, only 433,000 square meters of space were rented in the first quarter of 2021. This equates to a lease of 1.1 million square feet in the first quarter in the last quarter, a long-term average of around 1.6 million square feet per quarter and a DotCom-era low of 933,000 square feet in the second quarter of 2001.

And while landlords remained stable in the second quarter of last year, the average asking rents for office space in San Francisco are now down 12 percent to $ 73.76 per square foot per year, reflecting mid-2018 vacancy rates closer to 7 percent, which suggests there is still a lot to fall.
