OF Bryce Johnson, 26, made his MLB debut Wednesday, while J.D. Davis suited up for the Giants for the first time.
SAN FRANCISCO — Amid a stretch of a lot of bad days and not very many good ones, Wednesday was a highlight for a couple newcomers to the Giants’ clubhouse.
It was a good day for Davis because he got to come home, or about as close to Elk Grove as major league baseball gets. A long way from Johnson’s native Houston, it was one to remember for him, too: at 26, he was here to make his major-league debut. Davis’ mom and dad made it from Sacramento for his Giants debut , but Davis needed to outfit them with the correct gear. Davis’ dad grew up in Southern California as a Dodgers fan.
“I was just thinking about you,” Longoria told him. “I was thinking, ‘When is this guy gonna get an opportunity?'” “It’s different,” said Kapler, the leader of the National League’s oldest and slowest group of position players. “It’s no secret that we’ve had our struggles defensively and some of those struggles have been in the outfield.”
