PHOENIX–A rookie tossed 6 1/3 innings of scoreless ball and three hitters blasted home runs, but the Giants received another meaningful effort from someone who didn’t even step on the field in a 7-0 shutout of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Third base coach Ron Wotus, who manages the Giants’ defensive shifts and works daily with the team’s infielders, had his best game of the season.
“It seemed like when they hit it, there was somebody there regardless of where the ball was hit,” starter Dereck Rodríguez said. “In the outfield and in the infield, there was one that passed right by me that I thought was a base hit right up the middle and Crawford was there.
