Giants draw season-high 9 walks in 6-2 win over Royals; Alex Wood allows 2 ER over 6 IP.
SAN FRANCISCO — Some of the Giants’ favorite hitting metrics revolve around their ability to control the strike zone.
After making two outs, the Giants loaded the bases and scored two runs while getting just one base hit. Royals starter Brady Singer issued four straight free passes that forced in both runs. The Giants drew a season-high nine walks Monday night, including five from the Royals’ starter, who in five previous starts this season had shown among the best command in the majors. Only two qualified starters had a lower K/9 than Singer’s entering Monday night, but only four teams had a higher BB% than the Giants.
Brandon Crawford padded the lead in the seventh with a two-RBI double down the right-field line that cleared the bases, driving in Ruf and Slater. Ruf reached when he took ball four with one out for the Giants’ eighth walk of the night, tying their season high , then Slater immediately followed with their ninth free pass.
