Giants draw 8 walks, load bases twice but manage only 2 hits and none with runners in scoring position.
CHICAGO — The Giants, despite their propensity to swing and miss early this season, won’t be mistaken for a team without plate discipline. Facing White Sox strikeout artist Dylan Cease on Wednesday, they watched five ball fours go by and chased him by the fifth inning.Despite a constant parade of base runners, the only damage the Giants were able to muster until the ninth inning in a 7-3 loss Wednesday came on a second-inning solo shot from J.D.
The Giants put nine men on base via the free pass, but their only hit until the ninth inning besides Davis’ home run came from pinch-hitter Bryce Johnson, who laced a line-drive single up the middle but was left standing on third base after being followed by a pair of walks and a pair of punchouts. It starts at the top of the order, with LaMonte Wade Jr., who has led off each game with either a walk or a strikeout . On Wednesday, Wade drew free passes in each of his first three times to the plate. In the third, it kickstarted a bases-loaded rally. But the threat came to an end when Mike Yastrzemski watched a Cease slider cross the inside corner for strike three.
Wade reached scoring position again in the fifth, after walks to him and David Villar, but a big swing-and-a-miss from Pederson on another Cease slider snuffed out that rally, just like it did again in the seventh, when Pederson whiffed on a 98-mph heater from reliever Reynaldo Lopez.
