Spring Training Game Wrap: Giants 9 White Sox 6

It got a bit ragged in the later innings but this was the Giants best game of the spring so far as they blasted 5 HR's to overpower a strong ChiSox team.

Thairo Estrada SS- 2 for 3, HR, SB.  A lot of Giants fans are bullish on Estrada and I am one of them.  Hoping he gets a chance to build on his success last season.   

Armani Smith RF- 1 for 2, HR(2).  Smith hits his second HR of the spring.  

Patrick Bailey C- 2 for 2, 2B, HR.  Subbed in for Curt Casali.  Encouraging game for the 2020 first round draft pick.

Alex Blandino 3B- 2 for 3, HR.  Local kid who played college ball at Stanford.  First round draft pick by the Reds in 2014.  Never hit much in Reds organization.  Is he another Giants coaching success story or the latest reincarnation of ?

Carlos Rodon LHP- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  Rodon makes his spring training game debut.  Reportedly hit 98 MPH on the gun.  Exciting stuff!

Camilo Doval RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.  Doval makes his spring training game debut and pitches a scoreless inning.
