Keaton Winn put the Giants in a 4-0 hole in the first inning but recovered to face the minimum through the remainder of his six innings.
San Francisco Giants’ starting pitcher Keaton Winn pitches against the San Diego Padres in the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday, April 6, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — The sun peeked through the upper rafters of Oracle Park and a strong breeze blew out to right field as Keaton Winn fired his first pitches of the evening, and those conditions may well have been the difference in the Giants’ loss Saturday to the Padres.
The one swing from the Padres left fielder, sending a first-pitch fastball on a 43-degree trajectory to the Levi’s Landing concourse, amounted to the only runs scored by either team on a brisk night at the corner of Third and King. Retiring the next two batters, Winn should have been out of the inning without a hit or a run but instead had to square off against Manny Machado, who lined a single, and then was squeezed on a full-count splitter to Ha-Seong Kim that appeared to scrape the outside corner, loading the bases for Profar.SF Giants fans pine for Renel Brooks-Moon and Brandon Crawford during home opener
