Left-hander Kyle Harrison will get a chance to avenge his solely profession defeat when he and the San Francisco Giants oppose the host San Diego Padres on Friday night time.
After employees aces Logan Webb and Yu Darvish squared off in a pitchers’ duel for five-plus innings on Thursday, the Padres torched the San Francisco bullpen for 4 runs within the backside of the seventh and held on for a 6-4 win in San Diego’s house opener.
Jake Cronenworth obtained the massive hit for the Padres, a two-run double within the seventh that turned a one-run lead right into a 6-3 benefit.
Harrison is scheduled to start out a day after Webb held the Padres to only two runs and 5 hits in six innings. Harrison, 22, made his main league debut final August and wound up logging seven begins for San Francisco. He went 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings.
His solely loss got here on at San Diego on Sept. 2, when he allowed six runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings throughout a 6-1 defeat.
Juan Soto, Xander Bogaerts, Gary Sanchez and Garrett Cooper all homered off Harrison in his solely begin towards San Diego. He surrendered a complete of solely 4 homers in his different six begins, and he closed the season with 5 no-hit innings in a no-decision towards the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Giants had the one homer within the Thursday recreation, but it surely did not come till there have been two outs and nobody on within the ninth. Michael Conforto, who beforehand singled and doubled, homered off Padres nearer Robert Suarez.
Shortstop Nick Ahmed had a splashy debut for the Giants with a single, a double and two RBIs, whereas high-priced newcomer Jung Hoo Lee recorded his first main league hit within the fifth inning and his first RBI on a sacrifice fly within the seventh.
Not in the perfect temper after dropping in his Giants debut, supervisor Bob Melvin had good issues to say about Lee afterward.
“(He) obtained an enormous sac fly to place us forward towards a tricky left-handed pitcher,” Melvin stated. “For a primary recreation, (he) gave us a lead after the (high of the) seventh. That is a productive day to start with.”
Lee and the Giants will search for a distinct final result towards San Diego’s Joe Musgrove (0-0, 16.88 ERA). The veteran right-hander will likely be making his second begin of the season after getting roughed up by the Los Angeles Dodgers for 5 runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings within the Padres‘ 15-11 win final week in Seoul, South Korea.
Musgrove, who went 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA final season, has gone 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 13 profession begins towards San Francisco.
Musgrove, 31, stays assured after a shaky begin that adopted a shaky spring (13.50 ERA).
“I really feel like I’ve all the time been any individual who finds my stuff and sharpens up as video games go, because the season goes,” he stated. “The extra recreation reps I get, I really feel that is after I make the perfect changes all through the course of video games.”
