Giants called up RHP Tristan Beck to make his MLB debut; Ross Stripling likely steps into starting rotation.
MIAMI — If there was one bright spot in the Giants’ loss Tuesday night, it had to be the seven outs recorded by Ross Stripling. After three tough outings to begin the season, Stripling turned in his first clean outing in a Giants uniform, and he will become only more important over the next two-plus weeks.
“I’m very confident that we’re going to look back on the early stage struggles that Ross had and it’s just going to be a blip on the radar screen,” Kapler said. “I think the biggest key for Strip is count leverage. It’s first pitch strikes. It’s overall strike percentage. Both of those things have been better in the last few outings than they were earlier in the season.”
Stripling also ditched the alternate changeup he had been experimenting with through spring training and his first two appearances this season. While he used the pitch, which breaks more than his primary changeup, to record strikeouts of Aaron Judge and Josh Donaldson, he was too often missing the strike zone and falling behind in counts.
While Stripling has plenty of experience going between the bullpen and rotation, essentially his role the past three seasons with Toronto, he signed with San Francisco in part because he was promised consistent starts. After a brief detour to the bullpen, he’s happy to return to the rotation and confident he’ll stick there.
