Paul DeJong had a memorable first day with the Giants with a two-run homer in the fourth inning and a two-run single in the 10th in San Francisco's 8-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
“It is hard to put into words,” DeJong said. “I was happy to be out there and contributing on the first day. I am happy for the opportunity and glad that it worked out for me.”
“We felt a three-run cushion and a save situation was the right spot for him,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It obviously didn't go well. The game is moving fast on him. It's not uncommon for a guy on the younger side. He's had big game experience, but that doesn't mean you feel right in every situation."
“It was almost like a reset and that's how I felt today,” DeJong said. “To have a clean slate did great for my mental approach on this one.” Lorenzen allowed eight hits and four home runs in 5 1/3 innings. Since his no-hitter at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 9 against Washington, Lorenzen has thrown nine innings, allowing 16 hits and 10 earned runs in two losses.
