Giants win The Alex Dickerson Game

Alex Dickerson wasn’t even supposed to be here today. Dickerson was only in the lineup because Steven Duggar has been experiencing lower back tightness, and it’s not like Dickerson was tearing up the PCL as a River Cat. He was 3-for-17 in Sacramento without any extra-base hits, so he wasn’t forcing the Giants to bring him up. The Giants could have brought up Mike Gerber who has a 1.003 OPS since his last stint in the majors. Austin Slater and Chris Shaw have also hit well in Triple-A.
