Tyler Fitzgerald becomes first Giants rookie to homer in 5 consecutive games

Author: AP

San Francisco infielder Tyler Fitzgerald became the first Giants rookie to homer in five consecutive games Tuesday night. Fitzgerald, though, did not want to celebrate, not with his team mired in a slump coming out of the All-Star break.

“It’s cool and all, but it would have been definitely cooler if we would have won,” Fitzgerald said after the Giants 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. “At the end of the year I´ll look back on this and smile about it, but we lost the game. Really, not a whole lot good came from it.”

Fitzgerald accomplished the milestone in the second inning, when he drove a slider from Los Angeles starter Landon Knack into the Dodgers’ left-field bullpen.
