Rea also issued a pair of walks in the ballgame while striking out four. The Giants scratched out a pair of runs against him in the second inning, then the big blow came on a two-run blast off the bat of Jung Hoo lee in the third. The 34-year-old right-hander got eight whiffs on 92 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 26 percent. He'll look to bounce back from his worst outing of the season when he brings a 2.45 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 25/7 K/BB ratio (29 1/3 innings) into Monday's matchup against the Marlins.

The 26-year-old outfielder broke the game open with a 385-foot (105.4 mph EV) two-run shot off of Colin Rea in the third inning that extended the Giants' lead to 4-0. He also chipped in an RBI single and scored as part of the team's nine-run uprising against Ryan Pressly in the 11th inning. With the three-hit night, Lee is now hitting an impressive .312/.364/.507 with four homers, 23 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 36 games.
