Makes impact in team debut Bryant went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over Houston.
Impact The 29-year-old got San Francisco on the board in the third inning with a solo shot, his 19th of the year and his first with his new team. Bryant batted second in his Giants debut, although it remains to be seen if he'll stay in that spot in the order. The versatile defender has a .267/.357/.509 slash line with 52 RBI, 59 runs scored and four stolen bases through 378 plate appearances, and he should be a near-everyday presence in the lineup.
