Game Overview: Ramos' Historic Triple-Homer Performance
On July 6, 2026, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 at Oracle Park. Outfielder Heliot Ramos recorded three home runs in the game—a “little-league” homer followed by two conventional long-ball blasts—becoming the first Giant since 1920 to combine two regular home runs with a “little-league” home run in a single contest. Ramos went 3-for-5, drove in five runs, and scored three times, accounting for the majority of the Giants’ offense.

Advanced metrics showed a .279 expected batting average, .476 expected slugging, and a .341 expected wOBA.
