SF Giants open big homestand with 3-1 win over Phillies

SAN FRANCISCO – Before the Giants can finally welcome the Dodgers to Oracle Park this season on their way into the All-Star break, the National League East-leading Phillies are here first as a three-game undercard.

It’s a high-powered homestand, and it got off to a victorious, tension-filled start Monday night with the Giants prevailing 3-1 before a sellout crowd of 40,043.

“Two really good teams are coming in here and we just have to keep playing baseball,” Giants pitcher Landen Roupp said.
