Daniel Susac will probably get a good ribbing from his teammates after his 0-for-5 showing. Everyone else in the starting lineup got at least one hit, including Jung Hoo Lee who extended his hitting streak to 13 games. Matt Chapman hit a grand slam which is the new signature hit of the 2026 Giants. He also had a sac fly and a three-run homer for a spectacular 8-RBI day. Two other guys—Willy Adames and Casey Schmitt—also hit a pair of homers. It was exciting to see young CF Jonah Cox get three hits including his first homer. He came over from the A's in the Ross Stripling trade and was promoted from AA-Richmond to the big club. He was crushing it (.400/.453/.644) with the Flying Squirrels in his 44 games.
It was "efficient" today as they got the 18 runs on only 19 hits. They were 6-for-10 with RISP and only left four runners on base.
This is the most bewildering team I have ever followed.
Tomorrow's game is also at 11:20 Pacific and Sunday's is listed for 5:30 p.m. Landen Roupp and Trevor McDonald get the call. Robbie Ray managed a clean five frames today despite five walks. Reminds me of another lefty, Jonathan Sanchez, who was effective despite too many bases on balls. Both guys were/are hard to watch.
Go Giants!
