CHICAGO — The Giants, despite their propensity to swing and miss early this season, won’t be mistaken for a team without plate discipline. Facing White Sox strikeout artist Dylan Cease on Wednesday, they watched five ball fours go by and chased him by the fifth inning.
But even the most patient team needs a timely hit every now and then.
Despite a constant parade of base runners, the only damage the Giants were able to muster until the ninth inning in a 7-3 loss Wednesday came on a second-inning solo shot from J.D. Davis, an offensive output that stood in stark contrast to Chicago’s four runs on nine hits in five innings off Logan Webb to hand him his second loss in as many starts.
