<p>WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Willy Adames homered and drew a pair of bases-loaded walks, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Athletics 6-2 on Sunday night.</p>
<p>Tyler Fitzgerald also hit a solo homer, and Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores each had two hits to help back an uneven but effective outing by San Francisco starter Hayden Birdsong.</p>
<p>One night after setting a season high with four RBIs, Adames stayed hot at the plate to help the Giants take two of three from their former Bay Area rivals.</p>
<p>Adames walked to force in a run in the first inning, hit a solo home run off A's starter Jacob Lopez leading off the fourth then walked again with the bases full in the fifth.</p>
<p>It's the first time that a Giants shortstop has had three RBIs in consecutive games since Rich Aurilia in 2000.</p>
<p>Tyler Soderstrom had two hits including his 15th home run for the A's.</p>
<p>Birdsong (4-3) pitched around traffic most of the evening and didn't allow a run until Soderstrom's solo home run leading off the fourth. He had six strikeouts and overcame control problems to win for the first time since June 1.</p>
<p>Spencer Bivens and All-Star reliever Randy Rodríguez each retired three batters. Camilo Doval allowed a run in the ninth before getting Jacob Wilson to ground out and complete the five-hitter.</p>
<p>Lopez (2-5) allowed four runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>After issuing a bases-loaded walk on a checked-swing, Lopez retired the next eight batters including seven consecutive swinging strikeouts.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Birdsong walked five batters, none of which scored.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
