Logs three hits in win
Schmitt went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Mets.
Analyse
Schmitt singled in the second inning, drew a walk in the third, hit an RBI single in the fifth and added another base hit in the seventh as the Giants earned a comfortable win. The 27-year-old infielder continues to start at first base in place of Rafael Devers, who has yet to play defense due to lingering hamstring tightness. Schmitt went hitless in San Francisco's opening series against the Yankees but recorded his second multi-hit performance of the season Thursday. He's slashing .273/.360/.318 with two RBI, a double and a stolen base across 25 plate appearances in seven games.
