On the day the Giants cut ties with LaMonte Wade, there was perhaps no more fitting tribute to him than grinding out a win.

Tatis and Machado pulled off a double steal to put runners on second and third, but Rodríguez cooly struck out Jackson Merrill swinging and got Sheets to hit into a game-ending pop out. In putting out the fire, Rodríguez earned the first save of his career and lowered his ERA to 0.66, further bolstering his case for an All-Star selection.

Robbie Ray was stellar yet again and the Giants’ offense came from behind once more to seal a win over the San Diego Padres.
