Counted on as the Giants’ No. 4 starter, Keaton Winn’s first appearance of the spring came with a week left in camp.

Knowing the stakes, all Winn could do for most of camp was wait. He spent more time in the training room than the pitcher’s mound. He allowed one run on two hits, a walk and a hit batsman but evaded more damage by inducing a timely ground ball to Casey Schmitt, who was playing in and fired home to catch the lead runner attempting to score, and a strikeout of his final batter with another potential run 90 feet away at third.“The four-seam, the sinker, they both felt great,” Winn said. “I think I need to get some higher intensity reps with the split. Trying to get the feel back for it.
The way the schedule sets up, it would be difficult to skip Winn’s turn the first time through the rotation. The Giants don’t have an off day until after their seventh game of the year. But they could buy him slightly more time by moving his first start to the fifth game of the season.But, with a little wordplay earlier in the week, Melvin provided an idea of what they could expect from Winn.
“I know it turns into a zero in a week and a half, so I’m not incredibly worried about it,” Webb said. “But I’m starting to get tired of giving up that many runs.”
