After a quiet and injury-shortened rookie season with the San Francisco Giants in 2024, Lee is rapidly emerging as one of baseball's early breakout stars in 2025. Through his first 18 games, the 25-year-old center fielder is slashing .348/.403/.652 with three home runs, 10 doubles, a triple, and 14 RBIs — numbers that have not only solidified his place in the Giants' lineup but also launched him into the national spotlight. “It's just cool to see him [succeed],” ace Logan Webb said. Lee's ascent is particularly significant for a franchise that's missed out on several superstar pursuits in recent years — from Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge to Carlos Correa and Shohei Ohtani.

An overpowering performance by Logan Webb wasn't enough for the Giants to overcome their difficulties against left-handed pitchers Friday night. Lefty Tyler Anderson gave up no runs in six innings and three relievers finished things off for the Los Angeles Angels in a 2-0 win over the Giants at Angels Stadium. Webb (2-1) was dominant through six innings, tying his career high with 12 strikeouts in six innings with no walks. The Angels' 3-4-5 hitters – Mike Trout, Jorge Soler and Logan O'Hoppe – put the ball in play just once and Trout struck out three times.

It marked the first time in Giants franchise history a pitcher recorded 12 or more strikeouts with no walks and was saddled with a loss. Webb allowed just four hits, two runs (one earned), and kept Angels stars Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, and Logan O'Hoppe in check — the trio put only one ball in play and struck out a combined six times.

Anthony Rizzo is still a free agent. After playing in the World Series for the Yankees in 2024, Rizzo can't find a job in 2025. There's one team that needs a first baseman that is being urged by SI's Nick Ziegler to go get Rizzo. The Giants are relying on Lamonte Wade at first base, and he's underwhelmed this season.

Yesterday’s action on the farm.

The Padres, Giants, Phillies and Cubs round out the top 5 of our latest power rankings.

The Giants came away from Citizens Bank Park with a split, a positive for any team given that the Philadelphia Phillies have had the best home record in baseball over the past year and haven't lost any of their last 10 series in their own park. Melvin's starting pitchers gave up 10 runs in the first inning across four games, and twice he had to call down to the bullpen to get a reliever loose before the third out. The only reason he didn't do it a third time was because the bullpen was so taxed coming into Thursday's series finale that Melvin had no choice but to let Jordan Hicks try and get out of his own jam, even if that ended up leading to an uncomfortable pitch count. Hicks found a way to recover, and on a day when he watched the first five Phillies reach base, he ended up going seven and saving the bullpen in the middle of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days.

The San Francisco Giants have had surprisingly great start to the 2025 season, but there are still places that the team desperately needs to fix. It is hard to complain too much after the team has started 13-6, the third-best record in MLB, but the fact remains that they are also in the toughest division in baseball. The two teams ahead of them are also in the NL West, giving them very little wiggle room. By the time that the trade deadline comes around, the Giants should be sure to address the couple of weaknesses that are starting to form on their roster.
