Eric Haase Hits Third Home Run in Giants' 7-5 Loss to Diamondbacks

Haase went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Haase had gone 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over his last three games since his two-homer effort against the Dodgers on May 12. He's in a tough spot for playing time while the Giants are carrying three catchers on the roster.

Haase is batting .286 with three homers, five RBI, six runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 29 plate appearances this season. Daniel Susac continues to see most of the time behind the dish, though prospect Jesus Rodriguez is also in the mix.

This was Adames' fifth straight game batting leadoff. He's gone 6-for-22 (.273) with four extra-base hits in that span.

Giants' Casey Schmitt: Homers in Tuesday's Loss

Schmitt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Schmitt made his impact early, going yard in the first inning and adding an RBI single in the third. Those were the only two runs the Giants produced against Arizona starter Eduardo Rodriguez.

Schmitt has been an engine for run production lately, rackeing up six homers and 13 RBI over his last 10 games. He's now batting .298 with a .906 OPS, 12 long balls, 31 RBI, 26 runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 47 contests.

Schmitt still has utility appeal, but he has a clearer path to playing time in left field while Heliot Ramos (quadriceps) is on the mend. Schmitt has also seen time at first base, second base and designated hitter over the last week.
