The Giants built an early lead behind Rafael Devers hitting and Adrian Houser's pitching but Keaton Winn had a rough day opening the door for a D'backs comeback. Key Lines:
Jesus Rodriguez LF- 2 for 4, 2B, R, RBI. BA= .345. This kid looks like a serious hitter. Is there a path for both him and Daniel Susac to make the Opening Day roster with Rodriguez filling a utility/3'rd catcher role?
Rafael Devers DH- 2 for 3, HR(1), 2 R, 3 RBI. BA= .095. Devers 3-run HR gave the Giants a 6-2 lead in the 4'th inning. He did not look as large on the TV screen today as previous sightings.
Parks Harber 3B- 1 for 1. BA= .357. Harber has had a good spring. As he was going from first to third on Eric Haase's double he pulled up lame and skipped into 3B then limped off the field with a hammy strain. Hard to see him not missing at least 4-6 weeks.
Daniel Susac C- 2 for 3, HR(1), R, RBI. BA= .345. Giants can't let this Rule 5 Draft pick go back to the A's, right?
Christian Koss 2B- 2 for 3, R. BA= .423. Koss just keeps going and going and.....
Jared Oliva PR- 0 for 0, SB(10). BA= .367. Oliva almost pulled off manufacturing a run for the second game in a row. This time he pinch ran for Buddy Kennedy who drew a leadoff walk in the 9'th inning. Oliva stole 2B then went to 3B on a wild pitch. He as stranded there on a groundout and two K's. It looked like he could have come home on the groundout but got a late read. Bryce Eldridge came up as a PH with 1-out. He looked at two strikes then swung through a high and tight fastball. Can't help but think that AB was a test for the kid to see if he could make contact when he had to. He didn't.
Adrian Houser RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K's, 8/0 GO/AO. ERA= 3.86. I think you can rest assured Houser is going to be in the rotation to start the season.
Keaton Winn RHP- 0.2 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 0 K. ERA= 7.11. Winn has a disaster appearance after looking unhittable all spring.
Robbie Ray LHP makes his 5'th spring start today against the Brewers in Scottsdale.
