Bailey finished a triple shy of the cycle and Giants relievers pitched 5 shutout innings in a 5-3 win over Arizona and Zac Gallen.
San Francisco Giants’ Wilmer Flores celebrates with teammate Patrick Bailey, right, after Bailey hit a home run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Saturday, April 20, 2024, in San Francisco. Thanks to the seven strong innings from their ace Thursday night, the Giants were able to withstand a second straight subpar showing from their starting pitcher.
The Diamondbacks presented a unique test for Harrison, pitting one of the majors’ top fastball-hitting teams against the starting pitcher who relies on his heater more than almost any other. Harrison had limited opposing hitters to a .190 average in at-bats ending in the fastball, but Arizona hitters went 4-for-12 against the pitch, and Harrison only mixed in his other offerings 22 times, barely a quarter of his 74 pitches.
Jung Hoo Lee swatted his second pitch of the game, a letter-high fastball, over the Levi’s Landing sign in right field, and San Francisco went on to plate five runs against Gallen in five innings, their most success against Arizona’s ace going back two seasons. Bailey’s left-handed swing uncorked it at 109.7 mph, sending the ball to a group of happy kayakers, who might have begun to grow impatient if they had to wait any longer.
