When Mac Williamson exploded out of the gates at Triple-A this season, the San Francisco Giants hoped he would provide a spark to their lackluster offense.
The 28-year-old was hitting .378/.459/.756 with nine home runs in 23 games when he got the call on May 7. He was also fresh off a three-homer game and swinging it as well as anyone in minor league baseball.
He was 2-for-4 with a home run in his first big league game of the season, and for a brief moment, it looked like the Giants might have an answer to the revolving door in left field.
