The Giants jumped all over Kyle Gibson early and Alex Cobb pitched seven shutout innings in their win over the Phillies on Friday night.
The Splash Hit was the 97th all-time by a Giant and the fifth by Pederson. He has three this season including two in the last three games.Andrew Knapp and Lewis Brinson made their Giants debuts against a familiar opponent. Knapp was drafted by the Phillies in 2013 and spent five seasons with their big league club; all of Brinson's previous MLB games came with the NL East-rival Miami Marlins. The first night in orange and black was enjoyable for both.
Knapp started behind the plate and had a good night offensively. He walked in two of his first three plate appearances and drove in a run with a sac fly in the other. In the sixth, Knapp drove a ball to left-center but it was caught on the track. In the eighth, he drove in the 13th run with a groundout.
Brinson pinch-hit for Pederson in the fifth inning and reached when his flare to center dropped just out of the reach of center fielder Brandon Marsh. The second time up, he flied out to center.Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson had no command, and the Giants were all too happy to take advantage. They drew a season-high 10 walks, including three that drove in runs. Gibson walked four of the 14 batters he faced before handing the ball to former Giants reliever Sam Coonrod, who walked a pair.
