Winn shoves in first career start, but SF Giants silenced in second straight loss to Blue Jays

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:28:32 GMT

TORONTO — It was just over a year ago, last June 23, that Keaton Winn made his final start at Single-A San Jose, returning from a two-year absence caused by a pandemic and major elbow surgery. When the Giants won their last World Series, Winn was merely a teenager in Ollie, Iowa: population 200.On Thursday, the Giants reached the midpoint of their season, and Winn made his first major-league start in front of 27,761 fans, in North America’s most diverse metropolis.Despite a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, dropping their first series since the second weekend of June, the Giants (45-36) completed their first 81 games in better position than they were last season, when they sputtered into the halfway point at 41-41 with their eighth loss in nine games (and only worse to come). And with six strong innings of work from Winn, they may have found a starter who can help their prospects the rest of the way.Mixing his devastating splitter (52% of his pitches) with a high-90s heater, the 25-y...

OAKLAND — Tony Kemp ended the threat of the A’s being no-hit for the second straight game when he singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning. But less than 24 hours after the Yankees’ Domingo Germán pitched the 24th perfect game in MLB history, the A’s imperfections cost them a chance at winning the series against New York.The Yankees scored eight times in the sixth inning — including the second homer of the series by former A’s All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson — to hand the A’s a 10-4 loss before an announced crowd of 14,718 on Thursday afternoon at the Coliseum.The A’s finished with eight hits and executed all the fundamentals early: stolen bases, sacrifice flies, and hitting with runners in scoring position. Even center fielder Esteury Ruiz losing his glove over the outfield wall after making a leaping grab to momentarily rob Isaish Kiner-Falefa of a second-inning home run appeared to signal this might be the A’s ...
