Hicks, who once regularly reached triple digits, only threw 2 pitches harder than 95 mph but limited Colorado to 1 run in 5 IP.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks throws against the Colorado Rockies in the third inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, May 19, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — On a sunny Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park, Jordan Hicks took the next step in his transformation into a starting pitcher.
Hicks watched from the top step of the dugout after escaping his only tricky situation of the afternoon to finish his fifth inning of work, limiting the Rockies to a lone run — a first-inning solo shot from Ryan McMahon — on three hits despite recording only one strikeout to lower his ERA to 2.38, fifth-best in the National League.
Prioritizing quick contact to pitch deeper into games, Hicks said from the outset of his transition to the starting rotation that he didn’t intend to match the velocity records he set as a reliever. He’s shown a tendency to pace himself while reserving his premium fuel for the biggest situations.Hicks waved off Dave Groeschner when the Giants’ trainer came to check on him between innings and retired 11 Rockies in a row after McMahon’s homer.
