What to know

  • Bo Davidson became the first Giants rookie in 95 years to record a hit, steal, and run in his debut game, going 1-for-4 with a 103.8 mph single and stolen base.
  • The Giants defeated the Twins 5-2; Drew Gilbert added three RBIs including a solo homer as the team's 17th debutant this season made an impact.
  • Starting pitcher Blade Tidwell left the game with unexpected elbow discomfort in the fourth inning, facing an MRI to determine if his season is over.
  • Davidson, signed as an undrafted free agent in 2023, posted strong 2026 minor league numbers (.290 avg, 29 HR, 20 SB in 125 games) and will get final-week opportunities to showcase talent.

“This offseason, with extenuating circumstances, how guys handle themselves and coach themselves and their work ethic is going to be an ultimate separator into the next pool.”
