Four Giants pitchers Keury Mella, Christian Jones, Jeff Soptic and Mason McVay combined to strikeout 15 hitters in the contest. Mella fanned seven batters and allowed just one run over the first four innings while Jones (2 IP, 1 R) was credited with the win in relief. Strong Starting Pitching Through the first three games of the season, San Jose starting pitchers (Tyler Beede, Chase Johnson and Keury Mella) have combined to throw 13 innings with just one run allowed (0.69 ERA). The trio has allowed 11 hits, walked two and struck out 13. Arroyo s Fast Start Shortstop Christian Arroyo is off to a fast start at the plate for the Giants. In his first three games, Arroyo is 6-for-14 (.429) with three RBI s. His four doubles lead the California League. Arroyo, 19, is the youngest player on San Jose s roster.
