Down on the Farm: 4/2/2026

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats tamed the Salt Lake City Bees 7-4.

Jesus Rodriguez LF- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .330. 
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .333.
Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 5.  BA= .311.
Grant McCray CF- 1 for 3, HR(3), 2 BB, SB(4).  BA= .239.
Jake Holton DH- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .240.
Logan Porter C- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .240.
Osleivis Basabe SS- 1 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .225.
Joel Peguero RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.82.
Michael Fulmer RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's, Save(3).  ERA= 2.92.

Grant McCray's BA reached a nadir of .163 on April 17. Since then he is 14 for 39(.359).  

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels beat the Altoona Curve 7-2.

Scott Bandura LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .330.
Parks Harber DH- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .333.
Bo Davidson CF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .282.
Charlie Szykowny 1B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .283.
Diego Velasquez 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .263.
Aeverson Arteaga 3B- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(2).  BA= .294. 
Cesar Perdomo LHP- 4.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 5 K's, 5/2 GO/AO.  ERA= 2.53.
Logan Martin RHP- 4.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K's, 5/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 3.92.

Once upon a time Aeverson Arteaga looked like he might be the Giants shortstop of the future.  Then he underwent surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome after the 2023 season and missed almost all of 2024 then struggled in 2025.  He seems to be finally fully healthy and off to a nice start to this season.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds buried the Spokane Indians 11-0(7 innings, Game 1 of Doubleheader).

Trevor Cohen RF- 1 for 3, BB, SF, SB(11).  BA= .216.
Gavin Kilen SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .263.
Dakota Jordan CF- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(5).  BA= .293.
Carlos Gutierrez LF- 1 for 1, 3 BB.  BA= .227.
Jakob Christian DH- 2 for 2, 2B, BB, HBP.  BA= .600.
Walker Martin 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .254.
Ty Hanchey C- 2 for 3, HBP.  BA= .257.
Yunior Marte RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.50.
Esmerlin Vinicio LHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds topped the Spokane Indians 4-3(7 innings, Game 2 of Doubleheader).

Jakob Christian 1B- 3 for 3, 2B.  BA= .750.
Onil Perez C- 3 for 3.  BA= .200.
Dakota Jordan CF- 1 for 2, 2B, BB.  BA= .298.
Hunter Dryden RHP- 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K's, 5/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 2.41.
Ben Peterson RHP- 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.54.

A:  Visalia Rawhide edged out the San Jose Giants 2-1.

Junior Barajas C- 2 for 5.  BA= .317.
Andy Polanco CF- 1 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(10).  BA= .329.
Ricardo Estrada LHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  BA= 9.00.
Ben Bybee RHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, 5/2 GO/AO.  ERA= 0.00.

Ben Bybee is listed on several sites at 5' 2", 234 lbs.  MLB Draft Tracker lists him at 6' 6", 230 lbs which I am pretty sure is more accurate.  He was the Giants 8'th round draft pick in 2025.

ACL:  D'Backs outscored the Giants 10-9.

Josuar Gonzalez SS- 0 for 1, BB.  BA= .000.
Luis Hernandez 3B/SS- 1 for 4, HR(1), SF.  BA= .250.
Anthony Marquez 2B- 2 for 5, 2B, 3B.  BA= .400.
Yohendry Sanchez DH- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .750.
Luis Frias CF- 2 for 4.  BA= .500.

Josuar Gonzalez started the game at SS but came out for a defensive switch in the 5'th inning.  Hopefully not a significant injury.  Prized rookie Luis Hernandez started the game at 3B but moved over to SS after Gonzalez' departure.  Hernandez had quite a first pro game as he hit a grand slam home run in the 9'th inning to temporarily tie the game. He drove in a total of 5 runs in the game.
