First-pitch homer off Jansen in ninth evens series, picks up Doval after blown save

4:46 AM UTC

SAN FRANCISCO — It was a rough Saturday for All-Star closers, but a good one for the Giants.

Camilo Doval blew his third save of the season after surrendering a game-tying two-run single to Justin Turner, but J.D. Davis picked him up by leading off the bottom of the ninth inning with a home run against Kenley Jansen, lifting the Giants to a 3-2 walk-off win over the Red Sox at Oracle Park.

Davis hammered the first pitch he saw from Jansen off the left-field pole and then punctuated his second career walk-off hit with an epic bat flip once he made sure the ball had stayed fair.

“I thought it was pretty cool,” said Davis, whose previous walk-off winner was an RBI single against Cleveland on Aug. 21, 2019. “It was one of my better ones. I didn’t really go up there trying to bat flip it or anything like that. I was just praying that it would be fair so I don’t have to face Kenley again.”

The tide turned so quickly that manager Gabe Kapler didn’t even witness Davis’ game-winning blast in real time, as he was busy game planning with pitching coach Andrew Bailey in case the game extended to extra innings.

“It was a rollercoaster,” Davis said. “We didn’t expect [Doval] to give up two runs. And then on top of that, to have Kenley come in, one of the best closers to ever play in this game.

“Just to get that opportunity, get a pitch to hit and come through for the boys, and get a win to even the series was huge.”

Davis’ team-leading 14th homer salvaged an otherwise frustrating day for San Francisco’s struggling lineup, which went only 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 runners on base.

Despite their offensive woes, the Giants still managed to hand a two-run lead over to Doval in the ninth, thanks to the superb work of opener Ryan Walker, left-hander Sean Manaea and submariner Tyler Rogers, who combined for eight scoreless innings of three-hit ball.

Doval’s 31 saves are tied with the Reds’ Alexis Díaz for the Major League lead this season, but Doval uncharacteristically struggled with his command, issuing a leadoff walk to Masataka Yoshida and surrendering a double to Jarren Duran that put runners on second and third with no outs.

That brought up Turner, who bounced a single up the middle that got past a diving Casey Schmitt at second, tying the game at 2.

Rob Refsnyder subsequently entered the game to pinch-run for the 38-year-old Turner, but he was thrown out trying to steal second by catcher Patrick Bailey, helping to halt the Red Sox’s momentum. Bailey has now thrown out 18 of 47 would-be base stealers (38%) this season.

“The way Pat Bailey attacks the baseball to throw out a runner is getting more and more special,” Kapler said. “[Refsnyder] was obviously out by a significant margin. But it was really the energy that he took towards Camilo, how quickly he got rid of that ball and how fast that ball was coming at him that speaks to Pat’s athleticism and natural gifts.”

The Giants lost their designated opener when John Brebbia landed on the injured list with a right lat strain last month. But they’ve found a more than capable substitute in Walker, who worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings in his seventh starting assignment this season.

Walker hasn’t received as much attention as some of the Giants’ other rookies, but the funky right-hander has emerged as a key bullpen contributor over the past two months, posting a 2.50 ERA with 41 strikeouts over 36 innings in 25 appearances.

San Francisco is now 7-0 when Walker has opened games and 13-4 in bullpen games this season.

Manaea replaced Walker with two outs in the third and went on to deliver one of his best outings of 2023, striking out five over 4 2/3 scoreless innings while throwing only 52 pitches. The 31-year-old veteran leaned heavily on his four-seam fastball, which he threw 58% of the time and used to strike out the side in the seventh inning.

“When we are selfless and we put the team first, it tends to really work out well for us as a group,” Kapler said. “I think we’re capable of doing well in those situations. We’ve shown that over not just this year, but several years.

“I just believe in the guys in that room and their ability to take on that responsibility and do it well.”

The San Francisco home where Robin Williams raised his children has sold for $18M

The San Francisco home where Robin Williams raised his children has sold for M


A San Francisco mansion where the late actor Robin Williams raised his children for more than two decades has sold for $18 million.

The Italian Renaissance-style villa, built in 1926, is located in the exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood and spans nearly 11,000 square feet across three stories, Kron4 reported.

The property, at 540 El Camino Del Mar, offers panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands and the Pacific Ocean.

The former couple had purchased the home back in 1991 for $3.1 million. Open Homes

Designed by architect Earle Bertz, the property combines old-world elegance with grandeur, featuring six bedrooms, six bathrooms and manicured gardens behind a gated perimeter.

Williams, who won an Oscar for “Good Will Hunting” and starred in beloved films like “Mrs. Doubtfire,” purchased the home with his then-wife, producer Marsha Garces Williams, in 1991 for $3.2 million.

The couple raised their children in the home before Garces Williams retained ownership following their 2010 divorce.

Initially listed for $25 million in 2023, the mansion was described as “one of San Francisco’s most remarkable estate properties,” combining “period elegance and luxurious scale with modern sensibilities, joy and playfulness,” according to the previous listing.

The property, adorned with secret rooms and hidden passageways, was designed for his children.

“It’s a beautiful, happy house,” Marsha previously told Mansion Global when it first listed, adding that now that their children have grown, she was ready to downsize.

“We had many, many fantastic years of fun and play and joy there.”

Additional perks include a library and a media room, both boasting French doors that lead to the outdoors.

“Marsha and Robin Williams took the house down to the studs and rebuilt it in the early ’90s, updating all the major systems,” Compass agent Steven Mavromihalis previously told The Post in a statement.

“They expanded the home to its current 10,598 square feet on three levels. However they took great pains to preserve the rare and valuable building materials used in 1926, which are simply no longer available in the construction of modern homes.”

Williams died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63. Only several years after his death, it was revealed that he had suffered from Lewy body dementia.
