What we learned as Yunior Marte's strong MLB debut fuels Giants' win vs. D-backsThe first game of Saturday’s doubleheader ended, and the Oracle Park stadium crew quickly got to work. The Giants approached it the same way, and a rejuvenated squad pulled off the 7-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the doubleheader at Oracle Park to split the series with their division rivals. Yunior Marte made his MLB debut and was nothing short of impressive.Recap · Yahoo Sports — MLB
