Shortly after earning his first big league callup on Monday, outfielder Bo Davidson laid out what he hoped to achieve in his first week with the Giants. “Just showing them what I can do and giving them the best I can every game until the season's over,” Davidson said. “Just showing them who Bo is.” And who is Bo? “You'll see,” Davidson said before his Major League debut. Davidson stayed true to his word in his first big league game in the Giants’ 5-2 win over the Twins on Monday night at Oracle Park. San Francisco’s No. 8 prospect went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, becoming the first Giants player to swipe a bag, record a hit and score a run in his MLB debut since Johnny Vergez on April 14, 1931. “It was pretty incredible,” Davidson said. “I felt like I was just playing the game. It just felt like another day at the office, though, for me.” Fellow outfielder Drew Gilbert -- a Minnesota native -- also enjoyed a big night against his hometown team, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs out of the leadoff spot. The news wasn’t quite as encouraging on the pitching side, as the Giants saw rookie starter Blade Tidwell exit the game with right elbow discomfort in the fourth inning. Davidson, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to replace the injured Jung Hoo Lee (groin contusion), made a fast impression when he stepped into the batter’s box to face Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews in the bottom of the first inning. Davidson fell behind, 0-2, but he battled back to a full count and then lined the ninth pitch he saw -- a 91 mph cutter -- to right field to collect his first career hit, a 103.8 mph single. Davidson’s milestone hit drew a loud ovation from the 27,466 fans in attendance, which included his mom Donna, his brother Shakym, his girlfriend Tiera and his daughter Oaklynn. “I’ve never been in a big stadium where you’ve got a third deck, so when they stood up and the crowd got into it -- I loved that,” Davidson said. “I think Bo’s a guy that feeds off that,” manager Tony Vitello said. “The presence I thought he had in the box, and in the outfield tonight, was outstanding. It’s good that he got the first hit out of the way and had something to show for it. But I think he looked like he belonged physically and presence-wise.”
