Whisenhunt, Simon Put Strong First Steps Forward

SF Giants Minor Lines, April 6, 2023 (plus Richmond team preview)

Things are ramping up! Opening Night Part Dieux arrived last night with the San Jose Giants joining the active lists. But things get going in earnest tonight when all four affiliates take the field for the first time in 2023.

Things didn’t all quite work out the way the hometown fans would hope last night, but there were thrills, there was excitement, there was a little bit of heartbreak, and there was a very loud statement made by Carson Whisenhunt and Liam Simon that, as expected, pitching is going to be the strength of the San Jose club.

Just everything you could want from a night at the ballyard, including a beer batter K, of course!

HITTER of the NIGHT: Casey Schmitt (Sac), 3 for 5, 2b (3), 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 K
PITCHER of the NIGHT: Liam Simon (SJ), 4.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K

Let’s slide on in and check out the night that was!
