Jun 1, 2025; Miami, Florida, USA; San Francisco Giants center fielder Luis Matos (29) rounds the bases after hitting a three-run home run in the fourth inning against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Jim Rassol-Imagn Images Luis Matos launched a three-run home run, Hayden Birdsong carried a lead into the sixth inning and the San Francisco Giants held on for a second win in their three-game road series in Miami, 4-2 over the Marlins on Sunday afternoon.
Ryan Walker, Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval each pitched out of a late-inning jam, stranding eight baserunners in the process while protecting a lead that resulted in the Giants’ fourth win on their just completed nine-game trip.
Birdsong (3-1) limited the Marlins to just one run and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five without issuing a walk.
Miami’s Xavier Edwards, who returned from the injured list Saturday after a 16-day absence due to a strained back, went 5-for-5. He doubled in the first before singling in the third, sixth, seventh and ninth.
After the Giants had taken a 1-0 lead in the third inning on Wilmer Flores’ infield out, Matos increased the advantage to four runs in the fourth with his two-out shot off Miami starter Ryan Weathers (1-1). Casey Schmitt, who had walked, and Patrick Bailey, who singled, were on base for Matos’ fourth homer of the season.
Those were the last of the runs allowed by Weathers in his six innings. He served up five hits and three walks and struck out seven.
Miami chipped away with single runs in the sixth on an Otto Lopez single and the seventh on Edwards’ fourth hit of the day, but saw opportunities to do further damage denied by the San Francisco bullpen.
After Walker got the final two outs of the sixth with two aboard to retain a 4-1 lead, Rogers struck out Jesus Sanchez and got Lopez to ground out with the bases loaded in a 4-2 game to end the seventh.
The Marlins loaded the bases again in the eighth, this time with two outs, before Doval got Javier Sanoja to ground to short to keep the hosts two runs behind.
With the help of a double-play grounder, Doval worked around Edwards’ career-best fifth hit and a walk to Lopez in a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
Matos and Heliot Ramos had two hits apiece for the Giants, who won despite being held to four runs or fewer for the 14th consecutive game.

Defending champion Stallions’ abrupt exit tops storylines from UFL playoffs
Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> All good things must inevitably come to an end, and that's never been truer for the Birmingham Stallions. After three consecutive spring football championships, Skip Holtz's squad is out of the running for the 2025 UFL title after falling 44-29 to the Michigan Panthers in the USFL Conference Championship Game at Protective Stadium on Sunday. "It’s hard to lose, but it’s with great respect that I say congratulations to Michigan," Holtz said. "It’s with great pride that I say that I have really enjoyed coaching this football team and [watching] what this football team has been able to accomplish."Sunday's win marked the first time in eight meetings that Panthers head coach Mike Nolan earned a win in a head-to-head matchup with Holtz. Even though his team got the win, Nolan said things are far from finished. […]
Kirk Cousins expected to show up for Falcons minicamp despite desire to be traded, per reports
Kirk Cousins is expected to show up on Tuesday for the Atlanta Falcons' mandatory minicamp after not taking part in OTAs, according to multiple reports. Cousins, who did take part in Atlanta's voluntary workouts in April, would still prefer to be traded to a team where he can start.To this point, Cousins' time in Atlanta can best be summarized as odd. The Falcons, shortly after signing Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal, shocked everyone when they then used a first round pick to select fellow quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who replaced Cousins in the starting lineup in Week 15 of the 2024 season. With Penix now entrenched as the starter, Cousins reportedly wants to be traded. Atlanta, however, has apparently been bullish when it comes to its asking price for Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowler with 163 career starts under his belt. The […]
Edmundo decreta futuro do Santos no Brasileirão após contratação de Alexandre Mattos: “Vai cair de verdade”
Alexandre Mattos, novo diretor de futebol do Santos (Raul Baretta/ Santos FC) Edmundo não admira os últimos trabalhos de Alexandre Mattos no futebol brasileiro. Na visão do ex-camisa 10 do Vasco, o antigo diretor esportivo do clube carioca não fez um trabalho coerente, já que cerca de R$ 120 milhões foram gastos em 100 dias, mas nem todos os jogadores contratados fizeram jus ao investimento. Após passar pelo Cruzeiro, Alexandre Mattos é o novo executivo de futebol do Santos. Pessimista com o modo que o Peixe será administrado, Edmundo considera que o time de Neymar e companhia corre um sério risco de rebaixamento no Brasileirão não só através do desempenho irregular nos pontos corridos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Vasco talvez não esteja entre os oito melhores do Brasil, como disse o presidente, mas está entre as cinco ou seis maiores folhas […]

House v. NCAA settlement: Commissioners confident in ability to enforce NIL rules
Michael Cohen College Football and College Basketball Writer <!--> Three days after the approved multibillion-dollar legal settlement forever changed the landscape of collegiate athletics, ushering in a bold new world of revenue sharing between schools and athletes, a handful of the industry’s power brokers discussed the seismic paradigm shift on a virtual news conference.And while they were short on details regarding the implementation and enforcement of new NIL rules overseen by the College Sports Commission, a freshly formed regulatory body created in response to the House v.
