The San Francisco Giants experimented with using Drew Gilbert as the leadoff hitter to address the shortage of leadoff resources following the trade. Gilbert produced successful results in his first start as the leadoff hitter, reaching base four times, including a home run. Consequently, the team is considering a wide range of lineup management, deploying Lee Jung-hoo and Gilbert depending on the situation.
