Joc Pederson slugged his team-leading 13th HR; Brandon Crawford gave SF its 5th HR and 15th run with a 7th inning grand slam.
MIAMI — What a difference a night makes. Or, maybe more accurately, what a difference a pitcher makes.
“No disrespect to the pitcher, but yesterday we did face a Cy Young caliber pitcher,” said Joc Pederson, who contributed one of five Giants home runs. “That makes hitting a little bit harder. We got a lot more pitches to hit that weren’t all at 100 mph, so that makes the game a little easier.” In response to the Marlins’ opener, the Giants moved Pederson down to sixth in the order, shielding from the left-hander and setting him up to be the first batter Hernandez faced when he entered in the second.
“A lot of people on this team have not exactly been succeeding like they were last year, and that makes things a little more frustrating. Each individual has really high expectations for themselves, so to be able to see people succeeding, it’s a really good sign for our offense in the coming future,” Pederson said. “We’re able to scrap together three or four runs a game just by grinding out at-bats and playing baseball the right way.
