The Diamondbacks have a problem -- his name is Alex Dickerson.
The #ForeverGiant after just two days of being on the team has already hit for the cycle and tallied nine RBIs -- this is the most by any player in their first two games with the Giants:
Alex Dickerson has gone 5-for-9 with three runs scored, two doubles, one triple, one homer (grand slam) and nine RBI in his first two games with San Francisco ... his nine RBI are the most by any player in their first two games with the Giants.— Jessica Kleinschmidt (@KleinschmidtJD) June 23, 2019
Not to mention, Dickerson was hitting just .176 in his first six games at the Triple-A level. He returns to the lineup batting in the seventh slot as the Giants finish up the series against Arizona in Phoenix.
Unfortunately, the Giants have one problem to deal with as well -- Merrill Kelly. He was sensational against the Orange and Black in his last outing shutting them out in 5 1/3 innings.
