ANAHEIM–Mac Williamson stood at his locker, insisting he was no savior.
Sure, he’s not the second coming, but he is the rare mortal who can destroy a baseball.
With one violent swing that cut through the strike zone on Friday night, Williamson announced his return to the Giants with a glorious opening salvo that opened the floodgates in an 8-1 win over the Angels.
Williamson’s two-run home run off Andrew Heaney in the top of the fifth inning didn’t just provide the Giants with a 3-0 lead, it injected a new source of energy into a unit craving a power source.
