Ruf's homer, Gausman's arm help Giants beat Padres 3-2 in 10

Alex Dickerson scored on Donovan Solano’s sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 to take two of three

Hits third long ball of season Longoria went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

Impact Longoria showed off his bat speed as he took a 97 mph sinker over the right-field fence to give the Giants a 2-1 lead in the fourth. The 35-year-old has now homered in three of four games to open the season, but it's been a long time since he posted particularly special power numbers. With that in mind, it may be worth riding Longoria while he's hot, but don't get too attached.

Goes deep again Friday Longoria went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

Impact Longoria knotted the game at three with a two-run blast in the sixth inning, then plated the game's final run with a single in the seventh. The veteran has gone deep in each of San Francisco's first two games to begin the campaign and has collected four total hits along with a pair of walks over that span.

Pops homer on Opening Day Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Impact Longoria opened the scoring by leading off the second inning with his homer. The third baseman battled plantar fasciitis that limited him to designated hitter duty for most of spring training, but he played all 10 innings in the field Thursday. The 35-year-old had seven homers, 28 RBI and 26 runs scored with a .254/.297/.425 slash line in 53 games last year. When healthy, he should be a near-everyday presence in the heart of the Giants' lineup.

Makes spring debut at 3B Longoria (foot) started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Saturday's spring training loss to Seattle. He played three innings in the field.

Impact Longoria played in the field for the first time this spring after dealing with plantar fasciitis to begin camp. It looks like he's ready for the regular season, but could be used at DH the first three games since the Giants begin the season at Seattle.

Could be cleared for defense soon Longoria (foot) could take the field by the middle of next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Longoria has been dealing with plantar fasciitis since the start of camp. He's been able to participate in spring training games but has been limited to designated hitter duty. If he does wind up being ready to field his position soon, he should still have enough time to be ready to go by Opening Day, but time is getting tight.
