Multi-hit effort in win Basabe went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact Basabe singled in the second inning before coming around to score, and he added another base hit in the sixth. The 25-year-old infielder has recorded at least one hit in six straight games, batting .364 with eight RBI, four runs scored, three home runs and a double in 24 plate appearances during that span. With Luis Arraez now in Philadelphia, Basabe figures to handle a regular role in the infield, especially with Marcelo Mayer (forearm) sidelined.

Impact Basabe will pick up a fifth straight start after going 5-for-15 with three home runs, a double and eight RBI through the Giants' first four games of August. At least until the Giants get trade-deadline pickup Marcelo Mayer (forearm) back from the injured list, Basabe looks like he could be in store for an everyday role at second base.

Back in action Monday Basabe (forearm) will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Rangers.

Impact Basabe was lifted from Sunday's game against the Padres after being hit on the left forearm by a pitch, but he's back in the lineup a day later. It's the third straight start for Basabe, who is 3-for-9 with a pair of home runs early on in his stint with the Giants.

Basabe said that he expects to be okay, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rangers.

Merrill's 2-run homer helps Padres beat Giants 5-4

The San Diego Padres secured a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday

AUGUST 2 • Associated Press

Carries offense in narrow loss Basabe went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four total RBI in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Basabe was ultra-productive out of the No. 9 slot in the order in his first start of the season. The 25-year-old put San Francisco on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, then came up huge in a clutch spot in the eighth when he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off All-Star closer Mason Miller to tie the score 5-5. Basabe had all of one homer over 96 MLB plate appearances coming into Saturday, so his display of power was quite unexpected. His ability to play multiple infield positions could come in handy for San Francisco, but Basabe isn't expected to start on a regular basis.

Impact The move makes room on the Giants' 40-man roster for Logan Porter, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento after Patrick Bailey (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Basabe was traded by the Rays to the Giants in February and was unable to crack San Francisco's Opening Day roster. He's slashing .242/.287/.352 with three steals, one triple, four home runs and 20 RBI across 198 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.
