Willy Adames hit a first-inning home run on Sunday, the final day of the MLB regular season. It was his 30th of the season.
The 30+ homeruns means he has done it in back-to-back seasons, and for the third time in four seasons.
The first two times Adames hit 30+ were with the Milwaukee Brewers. This is his first with the San Francisco Giants.
This is also the first time the Giants have had a slugger hit 30+ home runs in a single season since 2004, when Barry Bonds did it.
