Texas manager Bruce Bochy beat his former San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Friday night as they welcomed him back with love and fanfare.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Jon Gray cherished being part of Bruce Bochy's special night back in San Francisco.
Gray struck out seven and didn't walk a batter while allowing two hits over seven scoreless innings as AL West-leading Texas notched the best 116-game record in franchise history by improving to 69-47. In the middle of the third inning, the Giants showed a tribute video on the big scoreboard and fans roared again as the 68-year-old Bochy watched from the top dugout step and then waved, tipped his cap and touched his heart.
"It's special to be back in this ballpark. I can't say enough about my tremendous time here, 13 wonderful years," said Bochy, who departed after the 2019 season.
