TEMPE, Ariz.–If the first game of the spring is a preview of what’s to come, the Giants will have plenty of opportunities to show improvement.
Things can’t get much worse than they did Saturday.
The Giants mustered just one hit through their first seven innings in a 10-3 defeat against the Angels. They struggled to make solid contract until the late stages of Saturday’s game and scored their only runs after most of the team’s starters had departed Tempe Diablo Stadium.
After rain forced the Giants to cut their workouts short each of the past two days, manager Bruce Bochy said he knew his hitters would open the spring with a challenge.
