If any Giants fans were concerned that the All-Star break might slow down rookie sensation Patrick Bailey, the catcher needed all but one game to remind fans how much he can impact the orange and black.
Bailey’s seventh-inning single scored two and put the Giants on top for good in a 6-4 win over the Pirates on Friday in Pittsburgh.
With the Giants down one to start the seventh, Bailey got a chance to hit with runners in scoring position after Wilmer Flores doubled, J.D. Davis walked and both advanced on a passed ball. On a 2-1 count with one out, Bailey pulled Colin Holderman’s fastball to right field for a single, scoring Flores.
