Devers, Bericoto homer in ninth inning, Giants rally past A's 2-1

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Rafael Devers hit a tying home run leading off the ninth
and Victor Bericoto connected one out with a drive over the center-field fence,
sending the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory against the Athletics on
Wednesday night.
Devers and Bericoto connected off Elvis Alvarado (3-3), who blew the save. Erik
Miller (1-0) pitched the top of the ninth for the win.
Max Muncy homered for the A's with two outs in the eighth to break up a
scoreless game.
Hogan Harris struck out two in the seventh then Luis Medina walked two batters
in the bottom of the eighth before getting through the inning by striking out
Bryce Eldridge and Casey Schmitt.
Giants starter Tyler Mahle carried a no-hit bid into the fifth before Jacob
Wilson's soft liner to right with one out in the inning.
Mahle retired the first nine A's hitters in order then walked Henry Bolte to
begin the fourth before getting Nick Kurtz to ground into a double play and a
flyball by Shea Langeliers to have still faced the minimum.
In the fifth, Wilson tried to score on Lawrence Butler's liner to second but
was thrown out at home.
Mahle returned from his rehab assignment to start after missing 23 games with a
strained left hamstring. The right-hander hadn't pitched since facing Arizona
on May 26 and lost his last three starts before the injury.
A's starter Gage Jump struck out the side in order in the first and the rookie
finished with a career-high nine Ks with one walk and three hits allowed over
five solid innings.
The Giants clinched their first winning series at home since taking two of
three against the White Sox from May 22-24.
Schmitt had his streak of seven straight multi-hit games snapped --- the
longest such streak by the Giants since Marco Scutaro did so in seven
consecutive contests from May 7-14, 2013.
San Francisco second baseman Luis Arrez was held out of the lineup after he
fouled a ball off his right foot during a 3-1 win Tuesday night.
