Willy Adames made a grand entrance in his return to Milwaukee on Friday night.
The Giants’ shortstop, who spent the previous four seasons with the Brewers before joining San Francisco last offseason, received a rousing standing ovation from the home crowd at American Family Field.
Adames then jumped on the very first pitch of his first at-bat, crushing a solo home run to left field mere moments after being greeted by a warm reception.

Those cheers quickly turned to boos as the Brewers fans watched their longtime shortstop put Milwaukee into an early 1-0 hole with his towering blast.
The home run was Adames’ 21st of the 2025 MLB season, but it didn’t take long for the slugging shortstop to add another.
Adames teed off on Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby in the eighth inning for his second home run of the night, pulling the Giants within one run.
