Villar goes deep twice as San Francisco Giants hit 7 'Home Runs' to rout Chicago White Sox

David Villar hit two of San Francisco’s seven home runs, Anthony DeSclafani tossed six scoreless innings and the Giants pounded the Chicago White Sox 12-3 on Monday.

Villar hit a solo homer in the fifth and a grand slam in the ninth. Joc Pederson, Michael Conforto, Thairo Estrada, Mike Yastrzemski and Bryce Johnson also went deep for San Francisco, which hit its most home runs since July 2, 2002, at Colorado. The team record of eight was set at Milwaukee on April 30, 1961, when Willie Mays hit four.

The Giants broke out in a big way after being shut out twice while losing two of three in their opening series at Yankee Stadium, and spoiled Chicago’s first home game under manager Pedro Grifol.

Pederson was also robbed of a two-run drive by center fielder Luis Robert Jr.

Conforto and Estrada went back-to-back in the fifth, and so did Yastrzemski and Villar to make it 7-0.

DeSclafani (1-0) picked up his first win since Oct. 1, 2021. The 32-year-old right-hander was limited to five starts last season because of a right ankle injury.

The five home runs allowed by Michael Kopech (0-1) tied White Sox record.
