Giants’ Strategic Mastery Leaves Sultanes Scrambling for Answers
In the sixth inning, Willy Adames — who had a fairly miserable spring — crushed a leadoff home run (Ramos almost made it back-to-back shots, with a fly ball that fooled the broadcast booth, if not the atmosphere).
But the exciting hit of the day came in the eighth inning. As the Giants started to pull their regulars, Bryce Eldridge came up for his lone at-bat of the day. Eldridge was, to his disappointment, optioned last week, all but ensuring that he won’t make the Opening Day roster. He responded on Sunday in the organization’s intrasquad game when he donned a AAA Sacramento jersey and took Tyler Mahle deep for a booming home run, before later doubling. On Monday, against Sultanes, Eldridge played in a big league ballpark for the first time in his life (apologies, Athletics — Sutter Health Park doesn’t count).
