Adames Leads Giants Offense in Padres Win

On April 1st, Willie Atamey's is owning the lead-off spot for the Giants.

The 30-year-old shortstop went 4 for 5 with two RBI's and his first homer of the season

in a 9-3 win over the Padres at Petco Park.

That blast was his second career lead-off homer, setting the tone right from the jump in

the first inning.

Last year, Atamey's only batted lead-off once on the final day of the regular season.

The Giants slotted him up top to chase his 30th homer, and he delivered against the Rockies

becoming the first Giants hitter to hit 30 cents.

Barry bonds back in 2004.

Now they're sticking with it early this season.

The whole Giants lineup lit up Tuesday night.

Every starter got at least one hit, with Jungwoo Lee going 3 for 5 and 3 RBI's, plus multi-hit

games from Rafael Devers and Matt Chapman.

San Francisco racked up 16 hits and 9 runs, both season highs after a slow start with

just 4 runs in their first 4 games.

Meanwhile, Logan Webb shook off a rough third inning where the Padres scored 3 to steady

the ship.

He retired the final 10 batters he faced, going 6 strong innings for his first win.

Matt Chapman added a solo shot to build the lead to 4-0 early.

Atamey's keeps proving he's built for the top, and with the Giants offense clicking like

this, they could be a force all year.

Keep an eye on how far this lineup rolls.
