Wilmer Flores is on the board.

The Giants infielder blasted his first home run with San Francisco on Tuesday to give his new team a three-run lead over the Texas Rangers in the second inning at Scottsdale Stadium. And the deep blast was a no-doubter.

"I'm trying this year to hit the ball a lot more in the air," Flores said Friday on KNBR's "Murph & Mac Show." That's what I'm trying to do a lot more this year. Ground balls are not hits anymore. You gotta hit the ball in the air."

Flores now has five RBI through in his first 15 at-bats with the Giants. The versatile defender served as San Francisco's DH against the Rangers on Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with the three-run shot.

The 28-year-old is expected to play all around the infield, and he should provide the Giants with some more power. His .848 OPS last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks was a career-high and his .487 slugging percentage was one point off the best of his career.
