Giants' Adames Hits Two Homers After Milwaukee Standing Ovation

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames received a warm standing ovation upon returning to Milwaukee, where he had spent four seasons with the Brewers before signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Giants. Adames honored the crowd by saluting them before launching a 419-foot home run on the first pitch he faced, putting the Brewers on the early scoreboard and eliciting a mix of cheers and boos from fans. Adames added a second home run later in the game, helping the Giants stay competitive against the Brewers, who currently hold the best record in Major League Baseball. Despite the competitive atmosphere, Adames expressed admiration for the Brewers’ balanced roster and team speed, which have contributed to their success without relying heavily on power hitting. Brewers manager Pat Murphy acknowledged the leadership vacuum left by Adames' departure and noted the impact he had on clubhouse culture during his tenure. The return was a memorable night for Adames, who also took the opportunity to greet former teammates and staff, reflecting the strong bond he maintains with Milwaukee fans and the organization.
