The Legend of Cliff Melton | Giants 4, Guardians 1

Carlos Rodón is really good. Almost as good as Cliff Melton.

Carlos Rodón is looking up at Cliff Melton. Who is Cliff Melton? He was a rookie on the 1937 Giants, a team that lost to the Yankees in the World Series, and served as an elite No. 2 starter behind the legendary Carl Hubble. Melton combined for a record 22 strikeouts in his first two starts with the Giants. Rodón, after dominating the Guardians in a 4-1 win, combined for 21 strikeouts in his first two starts with the Giants. He'll forever be looking up at Cliff Melton, but perhaps he'll do so with a ring on his finger.
