Giants’ Shaun Anderson shows off his bat and his arm

SAN FRANCISCO — Through nearly three seasons in the minor leagues, Shaun Anderson compiled a career batting average of .114.

His current Major League average: 1.000.

Making his big league debut, the Giants’ top pitching prospect hardly disappointed, as the Giants rallied to defeat Toronto 4-3 at Oracle Park on Wednesday. The 24-year-old notched five innings, allowing three runs (two earned), two hits and three walks while striking out five.

Anderson matched with two hits of his own though, with his first coming when he crushed a double off the bricks in Triples Alley in his first career at-bat.
