Thairo Estrada - Clubs fifth home runEstrada went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Brewers.
ImpactEstrada took Colin Rea yard for a two-run home run in the third inning, bringing Lamont Wade around the bases to score. Estrada's been carrying a hot stick as the Giants' everyday second baseman, slashing 336/.391/.516 while swiping the tenth most bags in MLB (9) through 31 games. The 27-year-old has also been seeing an encouraging jump in power, having already hit five home runs after posting 14 in 140 games last season with a .161 ISO compared to his .139 ISO in 2022.

Colin Rea - Gets no support in lossRea (0-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out four.
ImpactRea turned in his first quality start of the season but was outdueled by Alex Cobb, who blanked the Brewers over seven innings. Most of the damage was done early, as a Joey Bart double in the second brought Michael Conforto around to score from first base before Thairo Estrada smacked a two-run home run off Rea in the third. Rea finished the outing by retiring 11 consecutive batters. Though Rea bears an 0-3 record, he's been a reliable fill-in starter for Milwaukee, who has dealt with a slew of injuries to their top rotation arms early in the season. Because of his unstable role as the team's sixth starter, Rea doesn't have much value outside of being a matchup-based streamer.
