#SFGiants Jung Hoo Lee has 5 games this season with 4 or more hits. Since 1958, the only Giants to have 6 or more 4+ hit games in a single season:
> Mays 1958 (6)
> Mays 1961 (6)
> Aurilia 2001 (6)
The Giants have 95 games left to play this year.
The previous time the #SFGiants held to 3 hits or fewer on Opening Day: 1965, when the Buccos' Bob Veale tossed a 3-hit, 10-inning, 10-strikeout gem to win 1-0.
#SFGiants Logan Webb allows 7 runs (6 earned) in 5 innings to Yankees. He's the first Giants pitcher to yield 7+ runs on Opening Day since Gaylord Perry in 1970 (7 IP, 7 R, 6 ER).
@FBTpod Frank, Chris, Scott: please, please, please, when talking about a player, also tell us what team he plays for. With many offseason moves and lesser-known players coming up, it’s really helpful to remind us what team he’s on. It’s easier to find them in the rankings too!

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with @UFCW.
Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.
They're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will lead to others.
