“I’d been waiting to do that all year.”īut the Diamondbacks, who have the worst record in the big leagues at 33-74, chased San Francisco starter Anthony DeSclafani in their half of the fifth on two-run homers from pinch hitter Josh Reddick and Asdrubal Cabrera. His most recent one came in 2019, also at Chase Field.
“It hasn’t been the greatest year for me, but I know what I’m capable of,” said Dickerson, whose slam was the third of his career. Dickerson broke an 0-for-17 slump with his homer off reliever J.B. San Francisco built its lead on the strength of Alex Dickerson’s grand slam in a five-run fifth. Super impressive and we’re thankful for him,” Kapler said. Tony Watson, in his first game back with the Giants, pitched 1 1/3 innings before Garcia came in. Jarlin Garcia (3-2) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory on a night when Kapler wanted to rest top relievers Jake McGee, Dominic Leone and Tyler Rogers. Donovan Solano’s squeeze bunt brought in Slater, capping a three-run inning against Aguilar (0-1).
Steven Duggar followed with a single that scored Posey and sent Slater to third. Rather than play the infield in, Arizona elected to intentionally walk Austin Slater. “The baserunning play, he understood how important it was to be on third base.” “I don’t know that Buster was seeing the ball well today, but he was just super tough,” Kapler said. Posey, not known for his speed, tagged up and made it to third on Alex Dickerson’s fly to center. He lined Miguel Aguilar’s pitch to deep left field to score Brandon Crawford, who began the 10th at second base. 329, had managed a bases-loaded walk, but had been hitless.
