Season Highlights[edit]

The 2025 San Francisco Giants kept a bizarre streak alive by starting Heliot Ramos in left field on Opening Day, which took place on March 27th against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark. Ramos was the 19th consecutive different player to start the season at the position for the Giants, dating back to 2007, the final year of Barry Bonds. That tied the St. Louis Browns/Baltimore Orioles for the longest such streak in major league history, having done so also in left field from 1937 to 1955 (while also relocating during the streak). The Giants were bound to set a new record, since Michael Conforto, who had started in LF in 2024, was no longer with the team. Incidentally, the Giants went on to win the game, 6-4. The Giants won four of their first five games, with Ramos playing the hero as he collected an extra-base hit and scored a run in each of the games, but that still left the Giants in third place in their own division, as both the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres were still unbeaten at that point. By the end of the season's second week, on April 6th. the Giants were left alone on top of the standings, as both the Dodgers and the Padres had now lost two games, while San Francisco was at 8-1. They were now on a seven-game winning streak and it was their best start since 2003, when they had started the season 13-1 on their way to winning 100 games and a division title.
