A grand entrance: Alex Dickerson arrives in style, crushes D’backs in Giants debut

PHOENIX — Concern, regret and disappointment are just a few of the feelings that often run through the head of a 20-something-year-old waking up in a Las Vegas hotel bed.

Some choose to stay anyway. Others, like Alex Dickerson, can’t wait to leave.

Hours after hopping on a plane, Dickerson hit the jackpot anyway.

Shortly after receiving a call to the big leagues, Dickerson turned in one of the most impressive debut performances in San Francisco Giants history in an 11-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The 29-year-old outfielder was promoted to the major league roster on Friday after the Giants placed center fielder Steven Duggar on the 10-day injured list with back tightness.
