San Francisco Giants

SAN FRANCISCO —Just when you think Mac Williamson couldn’t stay this hot, he does this.

Kuip thinks Williamson has always had exceptional power, but his new swing enables him to channel it more effectively than he did before.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Mac Williamson remade his swing during the offseason to become a more consistent power hitter. He added a leg kick, lowered his hands, found better balance all in an effort to keep the bat in the zone longer and give himself more room for error.

After hitting nearly .500 at Triple-A Sacramento, Mac Williamson is already crushing homers with the big league club.

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.

Brandon Belt’s two-run homer wasn’t enough for the Giants to beat out the Angels on Saturday night.

Before Friday night’s game against the Angels, Bruce Bochy gave an encouraging update on Will Smith.

After crushing a key two-run home run against the Angels, Mac Williamson reflects on his return to the Giants.

With three home runs, one of which was hit by Mac Williamson in his first game back with the Giants, and a dominate pitching performance from Jeff Samardzija in his 2018 debut highlighted an 8-1 victory over the Angels.
