In yesterday’s 1-1 Cactus League tie with the Padres Landon Roupp pitched 3 1/3 innings without allowing a hit or a run or a walk while striking out three batters. So far this Spring, in 8 1/3 innings Roupp has allowed only one hit and zero runs. This is beyond brilliant.

Luis Matos hit an RBI double in the top of the seventh and the Giants continued to play baseball defined by the ethos “Pitching and Defense.” It’s only Spring but so far the Giants pitching staff, particularly the starters, has been impressive.
Heliot Ramos Makes Spring Debut
Heliot Ramos made his Cactus League debut after sitting out the first nine games with an oblique strain. He went 0-2 with a walk and a stolen base as he seeks to be the first left fielder to start two Season Openers in a row since Barry Bonds. It would be something and Ramos could do it with a start this year and next season. But it has been a cursed position for the Giants since Barry Bonds was forced to retire. Here is the list:
