San Francisco Giants rookie infielder Casey Schmitt went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings victory over the Washington Nationals. Schmitt is now batting .317 on the season with six doubles, two home runs, and seven RBIs after a slow start in April.

Why it matters

Schmitt's performance is a positive sign for the Giants, who are relying on the 24-year-old to provide a boost offensively as they look to return to the playoffs after missing out last season. His hot streak over the last 10 games has helped offset some of the team's early-season struggles at the plate.

The details

In the first two games of the series against the Nationals, Schmitt is 4-for-11 with a double, home run, two RBIs, and two runs scored. After batting just .158 through April 1, he has caught fire, going 16-for-41 (.390) with five multi-hit games over his last 10 contests.

The takeaway

Schmitt's recent offensive surge is a positive development for the Giants as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 season. If the young infielder can sustain this level of production, he could provide a much-needed boost to San Francisco's lineup.
