After a historic night in Colorado, the San Francisco Giants optioned the rookie pitcher, leading to a lot of questions.
rookie Hayden Birdsong had a historic performance for both the Giants and Coors Field. In six innings, the right hander allowed two hits and two runs, walking two and striking out 12.
There are a few circumstances that explain this. For one, Birdsong won't be down for long. He was sent to Single-A San Jose, so he will be nearby for the Giants next homestand. Reportedly, he will be starting one of the double header games against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
