Spring Training Game Wrap 3/6/2026: Giants 6 Reds 3


Tyler Mahle and Trevor MeDonald combined for 5 shutout innings and Luis Matos led the lineup in a Giants win in Scottsdale.  Key Lines: 

Jared Oliva CF- 1 for 2, HBP, 2 SB(6), R.  BA= .400.  Oliva has 6 of the team's 14 SB's and is the only player with more than 1.  He also appears to be a plus defender in CF.  

Daniel Susac C- 1 for 3.  BA= .400.  EV 105.6 MPH.  

Victor Bericoto RF- 1 for 2, 2B, SF, R, RBI.  BA= .500.  Bericoto continues to rake although his EV's were unimpressive today.

Matt Chapman 3B- 1 for 2, HR(2), R, 2 RBI.  BA= .467.  EV 115.2 MPH Distance 454 ft.  Wow!  

Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 3, 3B, R.  BA= .273.  Triple was a line drive to CF with EV 109.2 MPH.  5 of 6 hits XBH on the spring so far.  

Luis Matos LF- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(2), R, 2 RBI.  BA= .450.  I could see a case for Matos and Oliva to be the two reserve OF's to start the season, but both bat RH.  Matos has 0 K's and 0 BB's so far.  

Tyler Mahle RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.  The strikeout pitch got him out of trouble.  

Trevor McDonald RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, 6/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 0.00.  McDonald is stating his case to be the first depth starter or better.  

Caleb Kilian RHP- 1.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.08.  FB up to 99.2 MPH.  

Juan Sanchez LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.  I've liked Sanchez for a long time.  Maybe this is his season to break through?

J. T. Brubaker RHP gets the start tomorrow on the road against the D'Backs.
