Big smiles after our first three-home run inning of the season 😄 https://t.co/0mLvTSLO0X

What happened: The San Francisco Giants posted that they recorded their first three-home-run inning of the season, sharing dugout celebrations after the outburst. The single-frame power surge marks the first time the club has gone deep three times in one inning this year.

Why it matters: A three-homer inning is a rare offensive eruption that can flip a game's momentum in a hurry and signals a lineup getting hot at the plate. For a Giants club looking to string together runs, that kind of concentrated power is the sort of spark that travels well over a long season.

What to watch: Watch whether the Giants can carry the power surge into their next series and turn a one-inning outburst into a sustained hot stretch at the plate.
