On the Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 Morris talk a little about the addition of the San Francisco Giants LaMonte Wade who was put into the role of first baseman on Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wade normally is a lead off hitter and plays outfield. Wade scored twice and had a hit and two walks to help the Giants in an extra inning 8-5 win.

#2 The Giants have three first baseman who were hurt in the Dodgers series in LA, Brandon Belt who out with a oblique strain, Darin Ruf out with a hamstring and Wilmer Flores just returned on Saturday night from a hamstring injury.

#3 Giants manager Gabe Kapler talking about the Ruf and Flores injuries saying that hamstrings are tricky and said the team doesn’t want to go to far out in advance. The Flores return Saturday was observed by Kapler and the training staff as Flores got through the game alright. Flores he had some good at bats during his return on Saturday three at bats, three hits, two runs scored, one RBI.

#4 The Giants Austin Slater and Mauricio Dubon took Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw deep which helped the Giants just get by the Dodgers 5-4 Sunday and take three out of four from LA in the series.

#5 It’s back to Oracle Park for a Memorial Day game as the Los Angeles Angels come to San Francisco to open up a two game interleague series with the Giants. Pitching match ups for the Angels and Giants have not been announced as of Monday morning yet. Morris set this series up for us.
