With only four starts under his belt this season Williamson has already earned his keep crushing not one, but two home runs that have given Giants the much needed offensive edge.
Thanks to home runs from Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria, along with another dominate outing from Johnny Cueto, the Giants sealed their first series win with a 4-2 victory over the Angels on Sunday.
In an plate appearance that took 12 minutes to complete, Brandon Belt set a new major league record by working a 21-pitch at-bat against Jaime Barria on Sunday afternoon.
After the Giants’ latest version of offensive pyrotechnics on Tuesday — featuring the stylings of a Brandon Belt check-swing infield single to avoid a no-hitter — the team fell to six wins, ten losses.
In 2017, the Giants scored the second fewest runs in Major League Baseball. Through 15 games in 2018, despite a retooled lineup, the Giants have scored the third fewest runs in Major League Baseball.
Before playing a part in the Giants’ 10-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners, Pablo Sandoval predicted that he would hit a home run against the Seattle Mariners.
