Tyler Fitzgerald becomes first Giants rookie to homer in 5 consecutive games
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — San Francisco infielder Tyler Fitzgerald became the first Giants rookie to homer in five consecutive games Tuesday night. “It’s cool and all, but it would have been definitely cooler if we would have won,” Fitzgerald said after the Giants 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Really, not a whole lot good came from it.” Fitzgerald accomplished the milestone in the second inning, when he drove a slider from Los Angeles starter Landon Knack into the Dodgers’ left-field bullpen. There are a lot of people in the organization that felt it was a matter of time, getting some experience and consistent at-bats that this could happen here.” Bonds, Clark, Robby Thompson and Willie Mays are the only Giants to go deep in five straight games since the team moved to San Francisco in 1958.
