Giants reach the midpoint of the season at 45-36 and may have found themselves another starter for the second half in Keaton Winn, who mostly silenced a dangerous Toronto lineup with the exception …
TORONTO — It was just over a year ago, last June 23, that Keaton Winn made his final start at Single-A San Jose, returning from a two-year absence caused by a pandemic and major elbow surgery. When the Giants won their last World Series, Winn was merely a teenager in Ollie, Iowa: population 200.
Despite a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, dropping their first series since the second weekend of June, the Giants completed their first 81 games in better position than they were last season, when they sputtered into the halfway point at 41-41 with their eighth loss in nine games . And with six strong innings of work from Winn, they may have found a starter who can help their prospects the rest of the way.
One mistake pitch to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. turned into the Blue Jays’ only two runs against the rookie righty but proved to be the difference in the game.
