BOSTON — Mike Yastrzemski had a visit from his grandfather Carl and then homered into the Red Sox bullpen like the Hall of Fame outfielder so often did in his heyday, and the San Francisco Giants beat Boston 3-1. Ryan Walker pitched a perfect sixth inning to help the Giants avoid the sweep and snap Boston's four-game winning streak. Camilo Doval pitched the ninth for his sixth save. Tyler O'Neill walked twice and hit a wall-scraping popup to drive in Boston's only run. Carl Yastrzemski visited his grandson in the visitor's clubhouse before the game, but did not stay to see Mike's homer.
