And one of the guys who was responsible for those two runs is Drew Cavanagh, the catcher who's joining us now live from Oracle Park.
We hope that Drew's gonna be joining us here momentarily.
The first inning There he is.
Hi, Drew.
We're g- glad to have you on.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's good to be on.
There you are.
Okay.
So I wanna start with the way this team has been able to attack early in consecutive games.
You put two runs on the board today, thanks to your two RBI single.
The team also got after it yesterday in the first.
What is it about the mindset of this group or the game plan that's leading to you guys producing in the first inning back-to-back days?
Yeah.
We're just trying to attack, get pitches in our zone and just, to attack off of that.
And th- that's been the, the approach the last couple days, and I think we're just gonna try to keep riding that out.
Drew, I wanna ask you about those guys at the, at numbers, numbers six through 12, the, the bullpen guys, my guys.
Tell me what you've seen the last couple days.
It looked like every single guy that came in, a little bit of a fire drill with both the starters coming out much earlier than expected, all the way to the last pitch of the game.
These guys have been doing a great job.
What have you seen from them?
Yeah, just attacking and relentlessly attacking the zone.
I think that, that, that's been a big part.
And, they've done fans- fantastic job just consistently making good pitches and keeping us in the game.
So cap off to the bullpen.
Mm-hmm.
Drew, real quickly, I wanna ask you, going back all the way to the month of June, in late June, you said your mom got the ball after your first big league hit.
Now you've had this big stretch where you're getting more and more opportunities with this Giants organization.
Like, what does it mean to you, your family?
Like, what has it been like just taking all of this in here?
Yeah.
It's awesome.
I'm, I'm living the dream.
I've dreamed of this since I was I can't even tell you how, how young I was.
But yeah, I'm just living the dream and trying to become the, the best baseball player I can.
Well, it's been a lot of fun watching you and the other young players on this Giants squad.
Congrats on the win.
We look forward to catching up with you later on.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
Good talking to you guys
