Sacramento Notes:

  • Isan Díaz was hitting in the leadoff spot, and he led the team by going 3-for-6 with his second triple and 11th double of the season.  It was Díaz’s first hits in the last five games.  He’s batting .276/.379/.588 since being traded to the Giants.
  • Jason Krizan went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles as DH, giving him 24 doubles on the season.  Krizan has hits in every game of August, having gone 10-for-23 (.435) with four doubles and a home run.  At the start of June, Krizan’s batting average was .189 in Triple-A.  It’s now up to .296.
  • Jason Vosler was at first base, and went 3-for-5 with all singles.  Vosler has a .229/.308/.428 batting line in 62 games at Sacramento this season, with six doubles, a triple, and 13 home runs.
