SF Giants' Heliot Ramos Having Legitimate Breakout Season

It's quickly becoming by far the best story of the 2024 season for the San Francisco Giants. Heliot Ramos, drafted out of high school as a teenager, is finally breaking out at the major-league level before our very eyes. Ramos, given a chance to play everyday due to injuries in the outfield, has been on a tear for over a month and it's getting harder and harder to ignore the legitimacy of the SF Giants outfielder's breakout.

Despite Ramos' breakout, the Giants lost two of three to the inferior Angels, largely due to poor situational hitting in the middle game of the series. Another negative for the San Francisco Giants was the continued struggles of Camilo Doval, who was touched up for four runs in 1/3 of an inning in Sunday's blowout win. It's starting to look like a change at the closer position is warranted, with the dominant Ryan Walker the most likely solution.

Meanwhile, Giants starter Kyle Harrison landed on the 15-day IL after spraining his ankle in the weight room on Saturday. It was another blow for a Giants rotation that has been banged up all season. In Harrison's place, Spencer Bivens made his MLB debut following opener Erik Miller, and Bivens was very impressive over three innings en route to his first MLB win.
