Austin Slater and J.D. Davis provided the decisive home runs, but Marco Luciano got his fair share of attention in his MLB debut.
SAN FRANCISCO — The youth movement was in full swing Wednesday at Oracle Park, with the highly anticipated debut of top prospect Marco Luciano and recent top draft pick Bryce Eldridge paying a visit, but the Giants’ veterans said not so fast.
Pinch-hitting in the bottom of the sixth, Slater sent a missile over the left-field wall that broke a 3-3 tie and drove home Wilmer Flores, who led off the inning with a ground-rule double. In a lineup featuring two 21-year-olds, with an average age of 26.9, all but one of the Giants’ hits before the eighth inning came from players age 30 or older.
Against the team with the fewest runs in the majors, it appeared the 3-0 lead would hold up behind an amalgamation of arms. Junis allowed three hits, including a one-out double to JJ Bleday than began the rally, but wasn’t helped by a boneheaded throw from center fielder Luis Matos. Jace Peterson’s single to center would have already scored one, but a second runner was able to come home after Matos made an errant throw to third that had little chance of recording an out even if it was on-line.
