Giants News
The San Francisco Giants finally broke through with their first win of the season, edging out the San Diego Padres, and it seems manager Tony Vitello may have found a new setup man in the process. After a dismal 0-3 start with a run differential of -12, the Giants are making moves to bolster their pitching depth, trading for right-hander Dylan Smith and designating infielder Tyler Fitzgerald for assignment. Meanwhile, the team moved on from outfielder Luis Matos, who was sent to the Brewers, highlighting a roster shake-up in an effort to find a winning combination. With a fresh start against the Padres, the Giants will look to turn their season around and prove that their early struggles were merely an aberration.
