Chapman records multihomer game to save rookie southpaw’s season debut
06:37 UTC
SAN DIEGO – It didn’t take long for Kyle Harrison to show off his electric talent in his debut with the Giants last year, but he left some room for improvement when it came to efficiency.
The 22-year-old southpaw only completed six innings once in his seven Major League starts last season, but he managed to match that mark in his first appearance of the 2024 campaign.
Harrison struck out five in six strong innings to lead the Giants to an 8-3 victory over the Padres Friday night at Petco Park, giving the club its first victory under new manager Bob Melvin.
Third baseman Matt Chapman crushed two home runs – his first pair for the Giants – and added an RBI double to support Harrison, who allowed only solo shots to Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. and didn’t did not work in the economical effort of 76 throws. .
Fifty-five of those offerings (72%) were fastballs, which peaked at 95.8 mph and generated each of Harrison’s five punchouts.
“Fastball felt really good,” said Harrison, the Giants’ No. 1 prospect. “The plan for me today was to get ahead of the guys and attack them as much as possible and limit the walks. It ended up being that way with the fastball. I loved establishing this early.
“I think it really shows that if I attack the zone with my stuff, there are no limits for me. I just have to stay consistent with it. I’m still pissed about the two bombs. Obviously you don’t want to give it up as a pitcher, but we got the win, so that’s all that matters.
Harrison took the mound with an early 3-0 lead thanks to Chapman, who put the Giants on the board with a two-run homer to center field immediately off Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove in the top of the first. His ninth-inning swing against reliever Pedro Avila was even more impressive, flying off his bat at 111.7 mph and hitting the third deck of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in left field.
“It came out in a hurry,” Melvin said. “If it had been higher, it could have topped the building.”
Chapman and fellow free agents Jung Hoo Lee and Jorge Soler combined to go 6 for 14 with six RBIs and five runs, demonstrating the collective firepower of the Giants’ new roster. Chapman said it was very satisfying to deliver a monster performance that resulted in a historic win for Melvin, who also managed the star third baseman in Oakland.
“I think it’s totally appropriate,” Chapman said. “I was delighted for him to get his first win. I know how much he wants to win every day. I didn’t want to keep him waiting too long. For me, being able to have a game like this means a lot. He’s a guy I want to win for and I want to do everything for, so it’s funny that it happened like that.
Harrison opened with three scoreless innings before misplacing a breaking ball that Machado blasted into the upper deck in left field to cut San Francisco’s lead to 4-1 with one out in the bottom of the fourth.
The Padres also threatened the next inning after Eguy Rosario sent a drive to right field that hit the heel of LaMonte Wade Jr.’s glove, but Rosario ended up being thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple. After dropping the ball, Wade quickly threw it to second baseman Thairo Estrada, who threw a skipping pitch to Chapman to pin Rosario at third.
“I think it was a great stint,” Chapman said. “Thairo can do anything.”
Harrison’s only other mistake came in the sixth, when he hooked a changeup that Tatis smoked for another solo blast, but he came back to drop Jake Cronenworth, Machado and Ha-Seong Kim to end his start on a strong note. note.
The Giants will lean on Harrison to establish himself as a rotation mainstay in his first full season in the Majors, but they also know they’ll have to keep an eye on his workload since he’s never pitched over 113 innings in the Minors.
Despite Harrison’s low pitch count on Friday, Melvin opted to turn the game over to the bullpen in the bottom of the seventh and call on fellow countryman Landen Roupp, who worked around a one-out single against Luis Campusano to record a scoreless inning in his Major League debut.
“There’s no real formula for innings,” Melvin said. “It’s more about seeing how (Harrison) feels from outing to outing and going from there. The number of pitches was under control. When you throw the ball over home plate, you’re going to give up – especially to this team – a home run or two. But if these are solo tours, you can live with it. He didn’t put himself in a position where there was a lot of traffic.
