The Giants and Rangers played to a 1-1 tie in Surprise. I haven't found a reason for why it was stopped after 6. Key Lines:
Tommy La Stella 2B- 1 for 1, 2B, BB. La Stella led off the game with an 8-pitch walk. Hitting coach Donnie Eppler said "this is your love language" to Kap. Well, that's an inneresting way to put it! Look for La Stella to bat leadoff a lot in 2021 with YtY hitting second.
Joey Bart C- 2 for 2. Bart worked the first 3 innings behind the plate and hit two singles.
Nick Tropeano RHP, Caleb Baragar LHP, Dedniel Nunez RHP, Kervin Castro RHP, Silvino Bracho RHP- 1 scoreless inning each. Anthony Banda LHP gave up the only run in one inning of work. Kap comped Nunez favorably to last year's Rule 5 pick, Dany Jimenez. Castro reportedly hit 97 MPH with the FB.

Logan Webb RHP goes first against the Dodgers tonight. Camilo Doval RHP is also slated to work.

Brandon Belt seems to be slow bouncing back from a "non-COVID" illness. His readiness for Opening Day was already in doubt due to offseason surgery for a right heel bone spur.
6 innings was agreed upon between the two managers prior to the game starting. They have the option this year of choosing between 5 and 9 as long as both agree................otherwise it is always 7 for first 2 weeks and then 9 afterward
