Spring Training Game Wrap 3/1/2026: Giants 9 Athletics 1

The Giants 14-hit attack and shutdown pitching produced a runaway win.  Key Lines:

Christian Koss SS/2B- 1 for 1, BB, R, 2 RBI.  BA= .455.  Koss continues to show a knack for getting his hits with RISP.  

Casey Schmitt 2B- 2 fr 3, 2B, 2 R, RBI.  BA= .231.  Are Schmitty and Koss competing for the same roster spot or can they both make the team?

Matt Chapman 3B- 1 for 2, 2B, RBI.  BA= .455.  Chapman continues to hit the ball hard in early spring.  EV 101.2 MPH.

Osleivis Basabe PR/3B/SS- 2 for 2, 2B, 2 R, RBI.  BA= .600.  Organizational depth.

Victor Bericoto PH/RF- 2 for 2, R, RBI.  BA= .538.  Bericoto is a spring phenom.  Has he moved ahead of Jerar Encarnacion on the depth chart?

Logan Webb RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, R, 0 BB, 3 K's, 4/0 GO/AO.  ERA= 1.80.  Please be careful in the WBC!  

J. T. Brubaker RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.00.  That's more like it!  Giants need his veteran swingman savvy. 

Caleb Kilian RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 3/0 GO/AO.  ERA= 0.00.  This was Kilian's third appearance of the spring and the first I've ever seen him pitch.  Wow!  He has this short-arm delivery where he just raised his arm and shoots a 98 MPH dart making it extremely hard for batters to see or time.  He only has 1 K in 3 IP, but that stuff should induce a lot of very weak contact.

Landen Roupp RHP makes his second spring start on the road agains the White Sox today.
