Giants left-hander Ty Blach will make his first career appearance against Washington in Tuesday's rematch beginning at 7:15 p.m. PT at AT&T Park. Left-handed-hitting Gregor Blanco could get a spot in the Giants' lineup with right-hander Tanner Roark scheduled to pitch for the Nationals. Blanco is batting .345 (10-for-29) when he starts.
Chris Stratton pitched a great game, but it is once again Mac Williamson who stole the show, knocking in three of the Giants’ four runs and making some noise with a huge swing in the sixth inning.

On a first pitch fastball from new pitcher Shawn Kelley (who was in after Brandon Belt reached on a walk), Williamson crushed one to the opposite...
Mac Williamson continued to swing the big bat for the Giants on Monday night.
Mac Williamson continued to swing the big bat for the Giants on Monday night.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson didn’t have a friendly welcome for Washington Nationals reliever Shawn Kelley, on Kelley’s first pitch of Monday night’s game at AT&T Park. Williamson blasted a Kelley fastball 464 feet into right-center field, which actually doesn’t clear the wall by too much at this part of AT&T Park. This area of the field is known as “Triples Alley,” where doubles usually become triples, and should-be home runs usually fall short and result in...
The Giants hope that their bullpen will become a little more whole next week when left-hander Will Smith makes his anticipated return from Tommy John elbow surgery.
A different look against a left-handed starter...
Definitely trying not to make these lineup posts into a thing, and in this particular instance, I can actually fold in some other news to flesh it out a bit. But first, the aforementioned lineup:

Buster Posey is the...
There used to be a time when I’d look at this series and wonder if the Giants should even try to win a game.
After barely surviving Mike Trout over the weekend, the Giants now get to face the even younger Bryce Harper and his Washington Nationals. Harper’s personality and the on-field scuffles have somehow become The Narrative when discussing him, to the point that most people forget he’s one of the game’s best players. In 790 games, he has 804 hits, 158 home runs, and a 142 OPS+...
Brandon Belt made history in the most Brandon Belt way possible. Come, relive this piece of history with us, with facts as only McCovey Chronicles could have.
Sunday afternoon, an MLB record was set.
Sure, we don’t really know if 21 pitches in a single at-bat is indeed history throughout the entirety of Major League Baseball. It turns out that MLB in 1887 wasn’t tracking the actual number of pitches thrown (including fouls) in an at-bat. They weren’t in 1987, either. (Such tracking...
It was a breathless week of Brandon Belt brand baseball and Bryan and Sami are talking all about it for this week’s episode.
Brandon Belt gets a lot of guff because he’s not good all the time when many people think he should be. Well, he was good and more this past week and, so, it’s only fair that we dwell on that Belty goodness and enjoy how everything that happened could’ve only happened to Brandon Belt.
But it’s not *just* about Belt, even though this is the Beltcast. Bryan and...
Lovers of relief pitcher At Bats, rejoice! (That’s you Mr. Pavlovic!) Oh Come on, Blue! That was clearly outside! Like that mighty hack of Simpson’s though! HIGHLIGHTS: Conner Menez struck out 7 in 5 innings of work; Heath Quinn had his second consecutive 3 hit game. Sacramento lost at Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners), 12-5 The only real question from this game was who had less reason to enjoy this beautiful day: starting pitcher Casey Kelly, who walked five of the nine batters he faced and...
Brandon Crawford and Austin Jackson: discuss! I was tempted to make this week the first official Brandon Belt Week, but I pulled off the idea at the last second because, well, why did I do that? There’s always going to be something Belt-related to discuss, and you can certainly check out Grant’s recap of Belt’s epic 21-pitch at bat in his weekly Grant Land column over at SB Nation — but also look out for our own Kevin Cunningham’s recap at 12pm. Sami had a nice recap of it...
Cueto finished the game owning a 0.35 ERA, which is the lowest by a Giants pitcher in their first four starts of the season since 1968.
Johnny Cueto held the Angels to no runs on two hits after carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning and lowered his ERA to 0.35 in the Giants' 4-2 win.
Brandon Belt and Johnny Cueto stole the show as the Giants knock the Angels down to second place in the American League West.
The Giants defeated the Angels 4-2 to win their first series of the 2018 season.
Brandon Belt was the man of the day from the start, where he set a MLB record for the most pitches in an at-bat.
He followed that up with an eight-pitch at-bat in the third, where he singled to right and scored on a home run by Evan Longoria, after Buster Posey hit into a double play...
It was Brandon Belt foul ball giveaway day in Anaheim today.
With Joe Panik on first after a single, Brandon Belt came up to bat in the first inning. Twelve minutes and forty-five seconds later, he flied out to Kole Calhoun.
In a 21-pitch at-bat, with mostly a 2-2 and 3-2 count, Belt fouled off 16 pitches, mostly in the strike zone.

Brandon Belt set a major-league record Sunday when he faced 21 pitches in the same at-bat.
Brandon Belt of the Giants saw 21 pitches in an epic plate appearance against Angels rookie right-hander Jaime Barria in the first inning Sunday, the most pitches seen in an at-bat in Major League Baseball history.
San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt certainly waited for his pitch in his first at-bat of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels...
San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt set a new MLB record Sunday when the San Francisco Giants took on the Los Angeles Angels. His at-bat in the first inning against Jaime Barria took over 13 minutes from start to finish and ended up going 21 pitches, 16 of which he fouled off.Unfortunately for Belt, the new record did not end with him getting on base. He flew out to right field, ending his run at history on an anticlimactic note. Here’s a really cool graphic that shows all 21...
