Giants' George Kontos: Picks up win Saturday

Kontos pitched a clean sixth inning and picked up the win in Saturday's spring training win over the Cubs.

Analysis:

The Giants brought Kontos back on a one-year deal to serve as a middle reliever in 2017. He has posted ERAs of 2.33 and 2.53 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. However, his strikeout rate has been under 6.0 K/9 in both seasons, which isn't desirable for a ratio-boosting middle reliever even in deep formats.
