The Giants were shut down by Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins in the first game of their four-game series in Miami.
The Giants worked him hard early, but ultimately had just three hits off Alcantara. They dropped to 3-4 on the three-city road trip.With the Giants trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth and the heart of Miami's lineup coming up, Gabe Kapler went away from conventional wisdom. Closer Camilo Doval replaced Alex Wood, taking over with a runner on first and one out for Jesus Aguilar, the cleanup hitter.
The appearance was Doval's first appearance this year before the seventh inning and just his second one before the eighth. The outing was Doval's earliest since last Sept. 22, which was a week before he picked up his first save.It's been a rough couple of months at the plate for Joey Bart, but his season actually started out perfectly. On Opening Day, Bart took Alcantara deep at Oracle Park to get his first career home run. He apparently just sees the Marlins co-ace well.
Bart also had a good day behind the plate, making a strong throw down to second in the bottom of the fifth for a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play that ended the inning.The Giants liked Luke Williams and hoped he could provide some right-handed bench depth, but he was DFA'd last month when they needed a 40-man spot for catcher Michael Papierski. Williams was traded to the Marlins and was 2-for-5 in a pair of appearances coming into Thursday's game, which he started in left field.
