Good morning, baseball fans!
If I were to ask you which pitcher has thrown the most strikeouts in their first three games with the San Francisco Giants or New York Giants (dating back to 1901) who would you guess? Juan Marichal, maybe? Or Tim Lincecum?
What if I told you that you actually already know the answer, because you have reading comprehension skills and the ability to piece together context clues such as the name used in a headline?
That’s right, it’s Carlos Rodón! Per Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle, Rodón now stands above Cliff Melton, Juan Marichal and Tim Lincecum with 29 strikeouts in his first three starts with the Giants.
