Alex Dickerson pinch-hit home run sends Giants to extra-innings on Thursday
by Jon Mathisen | Fri, Apr 2nd 11:33am EDT
Alex Dickerson went 1-for-1 with a solo, pinch-hit home run in the Giants 8-7 loss to the Mariners in extra-innings on Opening Day.
Fantasy Impact:
The Giants were facing a lefty in Marco Gonzales so Dickerson didn't start in this one. He came up to pinch-hit in the top of the ninth inning with the Giants trailing by one run after blowing a five-run lead in the eighth inning. He promptly smacked an 0-2 offering from Mariners closer Rafael Montero over the wall in right-center to send the game to extras, where the Giants would eventually lose. Dickerson is going to be platooned throughout the season but he's always worth streamer and DFS consideration when facing right-handed pitching. He put up a .952 OPS over 158 plate appearances in 2020 vs. RHP.
