ICYMI: Giants Set Franchise Record With Offensive Power Display Vs White Sox

On Monday, the San Francisco Giants dominated the Chicago White Sox in their home opener, hitting a total of seven home runs and securing a 12-3 victory.

For the first time since 2011, the San Francisco Giants hit four home runs in one inning.
