SAN FRANCISCO — Giants fans never had the chance to watch the team’s top 2016 draft pick, Bryan Reynolds, suit up in orange and black at Oracle Park.
Not many were on hand to witness Reynolds’ debut at the stadium, either.
In front of an announced crowd of 26,826 fans, the fifth-smallest attendance in the ballpark’s history, the former Giants prospect delivered a go-ahead single in the top of the ninth off rookie closer Jandel Gustave to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-4 comeback win over San Francisco.
The Giants traded Reynolds to Pittsburgh in the ill-fated January, 2018 deal for outfielder Andrew McCutchen and have watched from afar as the rookie outfielder is now vying for the National League batting title.
