Spring Training Game Wrap 2/25/2020: White Sox 4 Giants 3

Kevin Gausman pitched 2 strong innings and the Giants offense mounted a 3-run rally in the 3'rd inning, but the White Sox scored 2 on the 9'th for the win.  Key Lines:

Mike Yastrzemski RF- 2 for 2, SB(1).  BA= .667.  YtY started in RF and led off.  2 hits and a SB?  That's what a leadoff hitter's supposed to do.

Wilmer Flores 1B- 1 for 2.  BA= .250.  Flores started at 1B.  His single in the 3'rd inning drove in a run and he later scored in the inning. Curiously, both of Flores' starts this spring have been at 1B.   Did the Giants give him a 2 year contract to be the short end of a 1B platoon?

Alex Dickerson LF- 1 for 2, 2B.  BA= .250.  The double was a classic Dickerson stroke sending the ball up the R-CF alley and driving in 2 runs.  The man can hit!

Kevin Gausman RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.  Gausman was facing the White Sox probably Opening Day lineup.  I'm quite bullish on Gausman and Drew Smyly.  Now all we need is for Shark to hold steady, a comeback by Johnny Cueto and a breakout by Tyler Beede, and the Giants have a very nice rotation.

Tyler Rogers, Carlos Navas, Andrew Triggs and Melvin Adon- 1 scoreless inning each.  Matt Carasiti allow an unearned run in 1 inning pitched.
