Giants’ Strategic Mastery Leaves Sultanes Scrambling for Answers
But who will join them? Spencer Bivens is a favorite but not a lock, and he tossed a scoreless first inning with a pair of strikeouts, though he also gave up a pair of hits. Tristan Beck hasn’t had a strong spring, but his sweeper was downright nasty as he handled a perfect third inning with a pair of strikeouts. Caleb Kilian needed just 10 pitches for a three-up, three-down fifth inning, though his velocity was a far cry from what we saw earlier this spring, as it topped out at 96.0 mph. The Giants need some electricity, and Kilian feels like a logical choice to make the roster as an NRI, especially with Gregory Santos already reassigned to Minor League camp. Although Santos made one last statement, reminding us all that he could be a serious addition to the bullpen at some point this year: he pitched a scoreless ninth with a hit and a strikeout, with eight of 11 pitches going for strikes, and hit 99.2 mph with his fastball.
Even Marques Johnson, who was not in camp this year, impressed in his opportunity, handling a perfect eighth inning on just nine pitches, while striking out two with a dynamic sweeper/cutter combo meal.
The lone pitching hiccup came from Carson Seymour, who gave up four singles and two runs in his inning of work. That said, it wasn’t like Seymour got lit up or lost control: he threw 19 of 25 pitches for strikes, while one of the hits he allowed was a doink at 68.3 mph, with two more in the 80s. He wasn’t helped by his defense either, which had a rare sloppy inning: Heliot Ramos sold out to try to make a play for his teammate, diving at a ball he probably shouldn’t have dove at … and then, in don’t-hurt-yourself-before-opening-day fashion, lightly jogged after the ball, letting a double turn into a triple. Later in the inning, Arráez committed a throwing error on a play where Schmitt surely felt he should have caught the ball.
On offense, there were exciting signs of life. Schmitt and Patrick Bailey lined back-to-back opposite-field singles to open the third inning, with the former scoring on a bunt single by Oliva (one of two infield hits he had on the day). Jung Hoo Lee smoked a two-run double later in the inning, as the Giants started to take control of the game.
