The San Francisco Giants bounced back from a loss in the Cactus League opener to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, 9-3. Overall, the biggest improvement came from the defensive side, where the Giants didn’t commit a single error after six miscues the day before.
The offense was strong, as is expected in the hitter-friendly atmosphere in Arizona. Hector Sanchez, Mac Williamson, and Kyle Jensen hit home runs as part of the Giants’ 15 hits as a team, powering the offense to nine runs. The pitching staff also had a nice day, limiting the Dodgers’ lineup to three runs on 10 hits.
