Tuesday BP: How to hit with Wilmer Flores

Happy Tuesday, San Francisco Giants fans.

The Giants are once again rolling, and will have two chances to win a road series after beating the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Monday night. That game featured something pretty rare: a start for Wilmer Flores.

The depth of the Giants has been on display lately, and the Giants have been facing an extremely large amount of right-handed pitchers. That means that the ultra-talented Flores hasn’t had many opportunities to start, and has largely been used as a pinch-hitter or late-game replacement. He’s not a pure platoon player like some of the Giants, as he hits righties fairly well .
