Cam Beaulieu (1-0) goes the distance in game 1 of the double header earning his first win of the year. Beaulieu was cruising through the first 3 until the A's put together a 4-run fourth. Beaulieu came back out in the fifth and battled back and quieted the A's bats back down to finish the game. Overall, Beaulieu was pretty dominant -- no-hitting the A's before and after the fourth inning. In typical 2018 Giants' fashion, after losing the lead in the fourth, and facing a 4-2 deficit, the Giants' bats came roaring back and put up 5 runs in their half of the fourth to regain the lead. Robert Kimber and Dante Padovani each with 3 RBIs in the win. Leadoff man, Justin Oblenes went 2-3, scoring 3 runs in the 13-4 win.
