On Will Clark night at Oracle Park, the 2022 Giants made sure they did their part.
If there was any sort of silver lining, it was that the pitch from right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. was an 84 mph changeup, not a fastball, but it still made direct contact with the left side of Estrada's helmet. He held his left ear as he went to the ground.
Estrada was replaced by Jason Vosler, who played shortstop for the first time since June 13, 2015, when he was in Low-A ball for the Cubs. If Estrada does miss time, the Giants will be in a tough spot. Crawford was not supposed to come off the IL until the middle of next week at the earliest. Donovan Walton is the only other shortstop option on the 40-man roster.
González took lefty Drew Smyly into the arcade for a two-run shot, his first at Oracle Park. On the very next pitch, Bart demolished an elevated cutter. It was the third time the Giants have gone back-to-back this season and the second time González and Bart have done it, although the previous one came against Albert Pujols.
