CINCINNATI (AP) — Heliot Ramos became the 19th player to start in left field for the San Francisco Giants over the past 19 season openers, and the move paid off when he homered against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
In the fourth inning, Ramos worked the count to 3-2 against Reds starter Hunter Greene and then fouled off five straight pitches before lofting a two-run homer to right field, cutting the Giants' deficit to 3-2.
