San Francisco Giants top pitching prospect Kyle Harrison was as advertised in his MLB debut against the Phillies. Harrison showed why many scouts believe he has the potential to be a frontline starter for the Giants. His fastball was electric and overpowering. He pounded the zone with strikes. No, Harrison didn't have a perfect outing, but he showed very quickly that he is one of the SF Giants' best pitchers and someone who could be a major factor for years to come.

But in the ninth inning, with the Giants holding onto a one-run lead, Camilo Doval gave up two runs and the Giants lost in walk-off fashion. Doval threw only one slider out of 19 pitches in the outing. Doval seemingly had Trea Turner completely set up for a slider away, which coudl've resulted in a strikeout, but he kept throwing sinkers in. Gabe Kapler said after the game that Doval needs to trust Patrick Bailey more and implied that Doval was shaking off calls for the slider.

Paul DeJong was added to the roster and is active and in the lineup at shortstop today. To make room on the roster, the Giants somewhat surprisingly DFA'd Johan Camargo, who did a decent job in his brief stint in San Francisco.
