Heliot Ramos Shines with Three Home Runs in Giants’ Victory Over Blue Jays

In a historic performance, San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos made headlines by achieving a feat that hasn’t been seen in the franchise for over a century. The Giants secured a commanding 10-1 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays, but it was Ramos who stole the spotlight with an impressive display, launching three home runs, including a unique “little league” homer.

Ramos’s night was nothing short of extraordinary, as he became the first Giants player since 1920 to hit two home runs and a “little league” home run in the same game. Reflecting on his success, he shared, “Just working a lot on my path, on the way that I was swinging today in the cage and BP (batting practice). I just felt pretty good about it honestly,” during a post-game interview with NBC Sports Bay Area.

His pre-game routine may have played a role in his performance. Ramos mentioned he cooked himself breakfast, which included sausages, eggs, toast, and hash browns—his go-to meal. He also made a quick stop for coffee, perhaps fueling his energy for the game. By the end of the night, he had tallied three hits in five at-bats, driving in five runs and scoring three times himself.

The excitement began early as Ramos opened the game with a triple in the first inning. A throwing error by Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez allowed him to cross home plate, setting the tone for the evening. In the sixth inning, Ramos launched a three-run homer that traveled 349 feet into right field, bringing in teammates Willy Adames and Víctor Bericoto.

But it was his second home run that truly captivated the crowd. Anticipating a fastball, Ramos connected perfectly, sending the ball soaring over the left-center field wall and allowing Bryce Eldridge to score as he rounded the bases. Giants manager Tony Vitello expressed his admiration, stating, “We were in awe of the second home run, I should say. It was almost like that one was separate than the first. You know what kind of power, especially in this stadium, he’s got going the other way, but that was kind of one that everybody was thunderstruck on.”

Vitello added that Ramos’s positive energy is infectious, saying, “It’s always good anytime he does something positive, you’re excited and happy, because he’s always happy. You guys are around him in the locker room, and all those things. … So, a positive influence in a lot of different ways.” Ramos’s remarkable night not only contributed to the Giants’ victory but also solidified his place in the franchise’s storied history.
