Yastrzemski delivers three-run homer as pinch-hitter
Mike Yastrzemski delivered a three-run homer as a pinch-hitter Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks. Here’s the one player Bob Melvin wasn’t mad at after Tuesday’s loss. The homer was Yastrzemski’s sixth of the year. He might be challenged for playing time against righties with Michael Conforto back, but the Giants will likely stick with him unless both Luis Matos and Heliot Ramos can give them good reason not to. Yastrzemski didn’t start tonight because Arizona was throwing a lefty.
Alexander has three-hit night in win
Blaze Alexander went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored as the Diamondbacks bested the Giants 8-5 on Tuesday. Alexander was an afterthought in May, but he’s started four straight games to open June and gone 8-for-16 to push his average up to .296. The Diamondbacks clearly aren’t sold on him as an option at shortstop and they have Geraldo Perdomo coming back anyway, so Alexander has to hit to force Torey Lovullo to use him. It’s working right now, but as soon as he turns in a couple of 0-for-4s, he’ll probably head back to the bench.
