The Giants hit back-to-back homers for Winn, who put together his third straight quality start.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Keaton Winn throws against the Pittsburg Pirates in the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, April 28, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — Nobody throws more split-fingered fastballs than Keaton Winn, and the rookie let 31 more fly in his third straight quality start.
The Giants walked off the Pirates in the series opener and held them off in the finale in a 3-2 win, taking two of three from Pittsburgh. They’ve won two straight series and can get through an up-and-down April at .500 with a win on Tuesday in Boston. But in the third, the Giants got to Pittsburgh’s rookie. Estrada led off the third inning by smacking Jones’ first pitch over the left field wall.Also heating up: Mike Yastrzemski. Right after Estrada rounded the bases, the right fielder cracked a 402-foot dinger to straightaway center.
Winn struck out the side in the third and then needed 12 pitches to retire the side when he retook the mound with the three-run cushion.
