Carlos Rodón's stellar start to the 2022 MLB season has taken an abrupt turn for the worse.
The Giants finally got on the board in the top of the eighth when Joc Pederson was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, forcing in a run.
The day started off in an odd way for the Giants and Reds when Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham got into an altercation a few hours before first pitch. The Athletic reported thatGabe Kapler told reporters before the game that, and while all that was happening, rain in the area caused a delay that lasted over two hours.
Because of the length of the rain delay, the Reds were forced to hold a pregame fireworks show due to local noise ordinances. When the game finally started, Pederson remained in the lineup, but the Reds removed Pham from their lineup as the league's investigation continued.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Kapler called on Jake McGee, who had been activated from the Injured List earlier in the day. There was one problem. McGee wasn't on the lineup card given to the Reds or the umpires.McGee wasn't allowed to pitch in the game and Jose Alvarez had to come on to pitch the eighth inning.
After winning the last two games of the homestand against the Mets, the Giants started the road trip on a sour note. They'll look to bounce back Saturday in the second contest of the three-game set.
