Overview
- Daniel Susac went 3-for-3 with a walk in his first MLB start, helping the Giants beat the Mets 7-2 at Oracle Park.
- Broadcast cameras showed his family celebrating his first hit as his two-year-old nephew, Chuck, cried in the commotion, and the short clip spread quickly online.
- Chuck’s dad, Matt Susac, said the toddler was past bedtime, sugared up on Dippin’ Dots, and upset that Paw Patrol kept pausing, which he called a perfect storm.
- Susac said he saw the video and took it in stride, and his fiancée later posted a clip of Chuck happily watching the postgame interview with the note that he was okay.
- Stat researcher Sarah Langs noted Susac is the first Giant in nearly 20 years to reach safely in his first four career at-bats, and that he and brother Andrew are one of six MLB sibling pairs to record hits in their first at-bats.
