In Shaw’s major league debut, the left fielder went 0-3 but drove in the game’s first run with a seventh-inning sac fly for the San Francisco Giants.
Aramis Garcia, who also made his debut tonight, hit a soaring home run to add to the lead and also hit an bloop single that drove in another run.
Shaw has been a power threat in the minor leagues, hitting 24 home runs for Triple-A Sacramento this season as well as 24 last season for both Double-A Richmond and Sacramento.
That power bat came in handy tonight as his sac fly would prove to be the winning run.
