The Giants had to settle for a series win and a 3-3 road trip after Winn was tagged for 7 runs in 4⅔ innings.
Keaton Winn #67 of the San Francisco Giants pitches against the Texas Rangers during the first inning at Globe Life Field on June 9, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. ARLINGTON, Texas — Returning Sunday afternoon from a three-week absence to start the Giants’ series finale against the Rangers, Keaton Winn resembled the same pitcher who landed on the injured list last month, which can’t be good news for Bob Melvin’s pitching-starved club.
Winn’s day went off the rails from the first pitch out of his hand, a 95 mph fastball that veered inside and struck Marcus Semien in the flap of his helmet. Just one of his first seven pitches found the strike zone, and by the end of the first inning, the Giants were in a 3-0 hole. That figure was a sterling 3.18 only three starts prior to hitting the injured list. Over his first six starts of the season, Winn allowed a total of 12 runs and completed six innings four times, but opponents in the four starts since have tagged him for 24 runs and knocked him from the game before the end of the fifth in each one.
