Sandoval takes center stage as Giants host Reds

A unique promotion will put Pablo Sandoval in the spotlight Saturday when the San Francisco Giants host the Cincinnati Reds on the second night of a three-game series. In response to a scoreless inning of relief in April 2018 in a 15-6 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the veteran infielder's major-league pitching debut, the Giants scheduled a "Let Pablo Pitch" bobblehead night for an obscure Saturday that figured to need an attendance boost this May. Turns out, the chosen opponent happens to be the Reds, against whom Sandoval got his second career pitching appearance on Monday, once again facing the minimum three hitters in a scoreless inning.
