SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants haven’t had the luxury of exercising patience with many of their inexperienced outfielders this year, but the club continues to show faith in center fielder Steven Duggar.
The 25-year-old rewarded the front office and coaching staff with his fourth home run of the season on Tuesday, a two-run shot into the right center field arcade in a 6-5 Giants win at Oracle Park.
The Giants designated Opening Day corner outfielders Connor Joe and Michael Reed within the first two weeks of the season and designated Mac Williamson for assignment twice, but Duggar has flashed enough potential and given the organization enough to dream on that he’s been granted opportunities to work through his struggles in the major leagues.
