San Francisco Giants: Derek Holland outing wasted as Giants lose third in a row
An impressive outing by Derek Holland went by the wayside on Friday afternoon as a third consecutive weak offensive performance sent the San Francisco Giants to a third consecutive loss, falling 6-2 to the Chicago Cubs. Holland dueled with Kyle Hendricks and kept the game deadlocked at 1-1 into the seventh inning, but after hitting Javier Baez and walking Ian Happ, Holland was pulled for left-hander Will Smith. Cubs shortstop Addison Russell bunted the runners over, and a four-pitch walk to Tommy La Stella loaded the bases. Following the walk, Smith left his first pitch to Ben Zobrist out over the plate, and the switch-hitting right fielder sent a double into the left field corner to score a pair and put Chicago (26-21) in front. Cory Gearrin relieved Smith, and though he struck out Albert Almora Jr., he surrendered a two-run single to Kris Bryant to break the game open. Chicago added another run in the eighth on a Russell RBI single. The Giants got one back in the ninth on a … [Read more...] about San Francisco Giants: Derek Holland outing wasted as Giants lose third in a row

San Francisco Giants: Mac Williamson activated from disabled list
On April 24, San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson tripped over a bullpen mound at AT&T Park, and hit his head on a padded wall. He was slow to get up. The day after his meeting with the wall, Williamson was placed into concussion protocol. On April 28, he was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list. He missed the next 27 games. After several fits and starts, and visits to concussion experts as far away as Pittsburgh, Williamson was finally re-activated from the disabled list on Friday, joining the team in Chicago for a three-game series against the Cubs. Williamson earned his April 20 call-up to the Majors by hitting .487 in his first 11 Triple-A games, with six home runs and 16 RBIs. When he joined the Giants, Williamson dazzled, hitting .316 with three home runs and six RBIs in five games, making a case to be San Francisco’s long-term starting left fielder. Then came the wall. Once Williamson was finally cleared to begin his rehab assignment, he showed no … [Read more...] about San Francisco Giants: Mac Williamson activated from disabled list
