Logan Webb battled through six innings and the SFGiants blasted four home runs in a 7-4 win over the rival Dodgers.
The First Is A Big One
Brinson nearly took Heaney deep while leading off the game, but his drive to left curled foul. Two innings later, he straightened things out. Brinson hit a 429-foot shot to dead center to tie the game two batters after David Villar's leadoff single. The homer was Brinson's first as a Giant and first in the big leagues this season. He hit nine for the Marlins last year and has 25 previous big league homers.
Two batters after Brinson's bomb, J.D. Davis hit a solo shot to center. It was his fifth in just over a month with the Giants after he had just four in the first four months with the New York Mets.Before the game, Gabe Kapler talked at length about how this month is a"runway" for Villar to establish himself as a big leaguer. Villar has had back-to-back strong seasons in the high minors but struggled during an earlier call-up this season.
Three batters after Thairo Estrada hit his 12th homer of the year, Villar got his second in the big leagues. He crushed a fastball a dozen rows up in right to give the Giants a 6-2 lead. The Giants plan to play Villar often this month at first and third and have even talked about getting him chances at second base and in left field. If he has a good month, he could put himself in position to make the Opening Day roster in 2023. There's uncertainty at both corner infield spots and utility man Wilmer Flores will be a free agent.Logan Webb threw 101 pitches, and after the final one, Kapler was waiting with an energetic handshake. It was very well-earned.
