McDonald Shines in Spot Start as Giants Edge Padres to Halt Six-Game Skid

A rainout opened a one-game chance for Triple-A call-up Trevor McDonald to steady a team coming off a homerless trip.

Overview

  • The Giants beat the Padres 3-2 on Monday at Oracle Park to end a six-game losing streak.
  • Trevor McDonald, promoted from Triple-A for a spot start after a rainout created a rotation gap, delivered seven innings with one run on two hits and eight strikeouts.
  • Casey Schmitt tied the game with his fifth homer, snapping a 223-plate-appearance stretch without a Giants home run.
  • Luis Arraez doubled twice and scored twice, and Rafael Devers brought him home with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly.
  • Caleb Killian allowed a leadoff homer in the ninth then retired the next three hitters for his first Major League save.
