Patrick Bailey’s ninth-inning heroics save SF Giants
San Francisco Giants pitcher Kyle Harrison pitches against the Pittsburg Pirates in the first inning of their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, April 26, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO – With one swing, Patrick Bailey belted the ball over the right field wall and should have erased any doubts that San Francisco made the right choice when deciding to roll with Bailey as the everyday catcher.
He handled a short grounder and flipped the ball to catcher Patrick Bailey to get the force at home, and the catcher made the throw down to first to escape the jam. Harrison’s big day continued a fantastic stretch by starting pitching. The Giants starters have now allowed two earned runs over 26 innings in their last five starts.The De La Salle product had an eventful first couple of innings. Three Pirates got into scoring position, but he ended the first frame by getting a groundout to third baseman Matt Chapman.
He was perhaps helped by the powerful winds swirling around Oracle, which made the violently flapping flags that crowned the top of the park sound like helicopters. The Giants’ hot and cold offense was frigid against Pittsburg’s Quinn Priester and his 8.31 ERA. Michael Conforto and Mike Yastrzemski’s singles in the second inning were the only offense San Francisco could muster through five.
