Fletcher’s 1st MLB homer, 4 RBIs lift D-backs over Giants 7-5 -
Fletcher, a 25-year-old who made his debut on April 30, raised his batting average to .457. Hitting ninth in the order, he tied the score 3-3 with a three-run homer in the second off Ross Stripling, a 428-foot drive off the sign above the swimming pool area in right-center field.
“He’s very calm in the batter’s box. He has a really good plan and he doesn’t get too overwhelmed with the situation,” acting Arizona manager Jeff Banister said. Casey Schmitt had a one-out RBI double in the eighth against Andrew Chafin, who retired Wilmer Flores on a groundout with runners on second and third and struck out Bryce Johnson. Miguel Castro got two outs for his second save.
Pederson was hit on the right hand by Scott McGough’s pitch in the eighth inning and later left the game. Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Pederson went for X-rays and the team was awaiting results. Banister filled in for Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, who missed the game to attend the graduation of son Connor from Northern Arizona.
