Wow! Once the Giants offense got rolling a few games ago, they haven't stopped! Today they dominated division rival Rockies from beginning to end and in all phases of the game for a runaway spring training win.
Tommy La Stella 2B started the game at 2B and went 2 for 2 with a HR.
Brandon Crawford SS came into the game 0 for the spring but broke out falling a triple short of a cycle.
Joc Pederson RF had a hit and a walk and stole 2 bases.
What's going on with Luis Gonzalez LF? He was already red hot and went 3 for 3 with a HR and a walk. Does he have a shot at a roster spot? If he was a RH batter I think he would be a shoe-in.
Then there is Mauricio Dubon CF. He doubled and hit a 3-run HR, his second round-tripper of the spring. Dubon has always been a kid to dream on. Does he still have breakout in his future?
Alex Wood LHP gave up a couple of runs but had another solid start going 4.1 IP with 4 K's and 1 BB.
Jakob Junis RHP pitched 3 scoreless frames with 2 K's, 0 BB and a GO/AO= 4/0. Junis could be a multi-inning relief dude and spot starter, especially with expanded rosters to start the season.

Alex Cobb RHP gets his second spring start tomorrow afternoon agains the Rangers in Scottsdale.
If Rodon/Cobb replace/exceed Gausman/Cueto, Lightning might strike twice.
