Are you not entertained? Patrick Bailey, the San Francisco Giants' first-round pick in 2020, had a weekend to remember. He singled and homered as he helped lead the SF Giants to a series win over the Marlins. He also did a great job behind the plate, showing off his skills as a framer. Casey Schmitt, likewise, continued to display his plus defense and ability to put the bat on the ball and make good things happen.
The youth movement has a chance to continue as well, with top Giants prospects Kyle Harrison and Luis Matos in Triple-A. Matos is not far removed from being ranked No. 35 on FanGraphs' Top 100 prospects list, but a down 2022 season moved him off their 2023 list completely. However, Matos has rebounded in a major way, starting the season in Double-A, a level higher than he'd ever played before, and quickly earning a promotion to Sacramento. In a handful of games for the River Cats, Matos has continued to hit and defend. He appears very close to MLB ready and could be an option at any moment.
Alex Wood was once again frustrated about being pulled in the fifth inning, but once again it was a completely defensible time for San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler to take him out. Logan Webb has been pitching great and lowered his ERA to 2.90, but came out with low back tightness. Webb and the Giants expect him to be okay. Finally, the SF Giants will reunite with Carlos Correa tonight as they head to Minnesota to take on the Twins.
