San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks celebrates a 1-4-3 double play in the 4th inning against the Washington Nationals, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif. SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants got timely hits, a standout effort from starting pitcher Jordan Hicks and even stole their first bases of the season Wednesday in a 7-1 getaway day win over the Washington Nationals at Oracle Park.
Although his control wasn’t pinpoint — he lost one pitcher over the catcher’s head, threw one behind Jacob Young, and bounced a splitter four feet in front of the plate — Hicks is relying on his two-seam fastball when in trouble. “He’s had really, really good starts, every one of them,” Melvin said. “It’s more just the mindset than anything else. What’s impressed me the most is his mix of pitches he uses now.
Hicks got into trouble in the second with a walk to Jesse Winker — during which trainer Dave Groeschner and Melvin checked on him to see if something was amiss — and a pitch-clock violation walk to Gallo. He then retired Eddie Rosario on a fly to left and Trey Lipscomb on a 1-4-3 double play. It wasn’t over, however, as Fitzgerald’s third hit chased Corbin, and pinch hitter Lamonte Wade Jr. hit a cue-shot infield single that scored Ahmed, with Fitzgerald cut down at the plate for the third out to put the Giants up 7-1.
