PHOENIX – Jarrett Parker provided nearly all of the Giants’ offense in a 2-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Parker hit a long home run. He legged out a triple. His total of seven total bases was one short of matching the most by a Giants player this season.
You might remember who set that mark: Madison Bumgarner, in this same ballpark, when he became the first major league pitcher in history to hit two home runs on opening day. Several players have matched Bumgarner’s eight total bases in five months since then. None have bested it.
