Starting pitcher Yunior Marte had an electric entrance into major league baseball and the Giants batters kept the line moving on Jeff Kent Day. Key Lines:
Jonah Cox CF- 1 for 1, BB, 3 SB(8), R. BA= .276. Cox showed what a lot of prospect watchers dreamed of him doing for a long time as he drew a walk to lead off the Giants half of the first inning, stole second base, stole third base and scored on Bryce Eldridge's single through the shortstop hole. Cox started the game against a LHP and was later replaced by Drew Gilbert PH/CF who drew 3 walks and scored 3 runs. Cox and Gilbert combined reached base 5 out of 5 PA's out of the leadoff spot in the lineup and scored 4 times. In all, the lineup drew 6 walks leading to 5 of the Giants 7 runs.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 4 for 5, 4 RBI. BA= .261. Four singles, 4 RBI's. Eldridge is starting to force his way into the conversation for NL ROY. He may lose out to the WAR enthusiasts due to defensive limitations but the bat is right there by several important metrics.
Rafael Devers DH added 2 singles and 2 RBI's as the top 3 batters in the lineup went a combined 7 for 11 with 4 walks reaching base 11 of 15 PA's. They scored a combined 4 runs and drove in 6.
Yunior Marte RHP- 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 1.93. This young Yunior Marte looks a lot bigger and stronger than the old Yunior Marte. He showed a loose arm and a live fastball he could put on the hands of lefthanded hitters and diving split change. I am sure he made some fans in the Giants front office and made the YtY trade look more like a long term winner for the Giants.
The Giants get Sunday to travel to Atlanta for a 1-game make up game from an early season rainout on Monday with TBD facing TBD.
