Teng allowed five runs in the Giants’ 17-1 loss to the Diamondbacks and posted a 9.82 in his first four MLB appearances.
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Kai-Wei Teng #70 is taken out by manager Bob Melvin in the ninth inning of their MLB game against the Washington Nationals at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, April 8, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — Kai Wei-Teng is learning the tough reality of being the last reliever on the 26-man roster. In that, the morning after cleaning up Blake Snell’s mess, he no longer was on the roster.
It was the first time Teng took down fewer than three innings, raising the rookie’s ERA to 9.82 in four appearances. In 11 innings, he has seven strikeouts but eight walks. “He got a taste of the big leagues; I think that’s good experience for him,” Melvin said. “He’ll go down and start and get stretched out a little bit more, but I think the overall experience was good for him.”
The loss was the largest dealt to the Giants at home since May 24, 2019, when the same opponent thrashed them, 18-2. The names on the front of the jerseys may be the same, but the backs have changed some. The Diamondbacks’ starting pitcher, for instance? Robbie Ray. And behind him at shortstop? Nick Ahmed.
