Austin Slater Powers Giants Off The Bench
4 years agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater didn't start Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres, but he made a big impact after entering in the sixth inning as a pinch-hitter for Mike Tauchman. Slater went 2-for-2 with with a home run and three RBI. The home run came in the bottom of the eighth inning off reliever Nabil Crismatt to give the Giants a commanding 7-1 lead. It was Slater's fourth blast of the year, to go along with his six steals. That combination of power and speed makes Slater a valuable fantasy asset, if he can keep it up and continue to play almost every day.
