It wasn't supposed to end this way. Among hitters with at least 50 plate appearances, no one had K'd at a higher rate than San Francisco Giants catcher/outfielder Blake Sabol. Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley is one of the best relievers in the game, and his strength is striking people out. Sabol and the Giants were one strike away from a loss. Instead, Sabol, who was sitting on a slider after receiving only one fastball on 20 pitches all night, blasted it high and deep into center field, and the SF Giants pulled off their best and most joyous win of the young season. They've won four games in a row.Sabol's position on the roster seemed like it might be in jeopardy just 48 hours ago. With Joey Bart playing well and Gary Sánchez nearing the date on which he can opt out of his minor league contract with the SF Giants if he's not in the majors—in addition to Sabol's major strikeout woes so far—it seemed like his time on the roster could be nearing an end. But an injury to Bart, which seems like it may actually be minor, thankfully, gave Sabol a little more breathing room. And he took advantage in a huge way last night, delivering the Giants' biggest swing of the year.Speaking of injured players, Mitch Haniger wasn't in the lineup last night a day after returning from the IL. Some fans expressed concerns that the Giants were platooning Haniger already, but that's just not the case. They likely want to ease him back into action, and if they wanted him to start two of his first three games back, it made the most sense to skip the middle game when they were facing a righty. Haniger should hopefully be back in the lineup tonight, and in there pretty much every day all season if he stays healthy.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:🎧 Apple Podcasts http://apple.co/3ycRK3U🎧 Spotify http://spoti.fi/3Bak0pN🎧 Google Play https://bit.ly/3D356mr#SFGiants #FirstListenSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetterHelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist who can take you on that journey of self-discovery from wherever you are.  Visit BetterHelp.com/lockedonmlb today to get 10% off your first month.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
