Giants’ Willy Adames returns to Milwaukee and homers in first at bat against his former team

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames celebrated his return to Milwaukee by homering on the first pitch he saw from his former team. Adames removed his batting helmet and saluted the crowd that gave him a standing ovation before he stepped to the plate in the first inning Friday. Adames helped lead the Brewers to three playoff appearances from 2021-24 before the Giants signed him to a seven-year, $182 million contract. He returned to American Family Field for the first time since his exit to face a Brewers team that has the best record in the majors.
