SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Maybe the finish line of this rebuild isn't as far away as it first seemed.
The Giants waited nearly three hours for the rain to clear Saturday so they could get their Cactus League opener in, and it was worth it when a couple of young hitters stepped to the plate against the Dodgers. Mauricio Dubon went deep to left with his first swing of the spring, and four innings later Joey Bart also smashed a homer to right with his first swing of 2020.
Dubon showed surprising power as a rookie, hitting four homers in 104 at-bats after his promotion from Triple-A.
