Wilmer Flores's RBI double tied it, and Michael Conforto's long two-run homer put the Giants on top for good in the eighth inning as SF avoids a sweep vs. the Royals.
DeSclafani's six-shutout-innings season debut wasn't a fluke. He was even better Sunday, allowing just three hits in 6 1/3 innings and showing an uptick in velocity across the board.
DeSclafani retired the first 11 hitters he faced before a double and single got the Royals on the board. He bounced back by retiring seven straight. Through two starts, the right-hander has allowed one earned run in 12 1/3 innings, with 11 strikeouts and no walks. The final line Sunday was impressive, but what was even more encouraging is how DeSclafani arrived there. He pounded the zone with his sinker and repeatedly dotted it on the corners. The pitch averaged 93.7 mph, a step up from his 92.2 mph last weekend. DeSclafani said after his first outing that he hoped to see a few more 95s, and got there a couple times on Sunday while throwing 15 sinkers at 94-plus.
With two outs and Joc Pederson on first, the Giants sent Blake Sabol up to hit for Austin Wynns. At the same time, a Royals trainer came out to check on right-hander Carlos Hernandez, who appeared to get hurt while recording the second out of the inning.Left-hander Ryan Yarbrough was warming up and started to come into the game, only to turn around when Hernandez returned to the mound after it appeared he had been pulled.
