Giants' Adames homers in emotional Milwaukee return

Willy Adames returned to Milwaukee for the first time since signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, receiving a standing ovation from Brewers fans at American Family Field. Adames, who helped lead the Brewers to three playoff appearances from 2021 to 2024, hit two home runs during the game, including a 419-foot shot off former teammate José Quintana. Despite the cheers, some fans booed as the Giants ultimately lost 5-4 after a walk-off homer by Brewers catcher William Contreras. Adames praised the Brewers' team-wide contributions and speed, which have helped them maintain the best record in the majors, and expressed gratitude for the lasting support and love from Milwaukee fans even during his less productive seasons. Brewers manager Pat Murphy highlighted Adames' significant clubhouse presence and leadership following his departure. The return was especially poignant as it coincided with a weekend honoring longtime Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker.
