San Francisco Giants pitcher Jordan Hicks battled through multiple issues against the Colorado Rockies.
with a 4-1 victory over their division rivals at Oracle Park. He yielded just three hits and one walk, throwing 49 of his 72 pitches for strikes and inducing seven groundouts. The only run he allowed came on a first-inning solo homer by Ryan McMahon.
Jordan Hicks threw up his pregame meal and water, which explains the diminished velocity. He snacked on bananas and stroopwafels during the game to try and regain some energy.Hicks' weakened state was evident in his diminished velocity. He maxed out at 92 mph and his average velocity was down roughly 3.5 mph from his season average. He generated only seven swinging strikes and just one strikeout -- his second-lowest total of the season.
Given Hicks' condition, it makes sense why manager Bob Melvin limited him to just 72 pitches and five innings before going to the bullpen. The 72 pitches were Hicks' fewest this season.
