West Sacramento, CA - The Sacramento River Cats are excited to announce the return of the San Francisco Giants to Raley Field for the second ever Exhibition Game between the River Cats and Giants. The game is scheduled for Saturday, March 24 of next year at Raley Field.

"Returning to Raley Field is something we've wanted to do since making our first trip to Sacramento in 2016," said Giants President & CEO Larry Baer. "Our partnership with the River Cats and our shared fanbase in the Sacramento region have both grown stronger over the last three seasons and this is another opportunity for us to participate in that community."
The first River Cats and Giants Exhibition Game took place at Raley Field in March of 2016. The game, which was played in front of a sellout crowd and also televised locally, was a major success on every level.
"The fan reaction in 2016 exceeded even our expectations and we knew we needed to host the Giants again," explained River Cats General Manager Chip Maxson. "The opportunity to see the Giants of the future alongside your favorite San Francisco Giants in an intimate setting like Raley Field is unlike any other experience."
In 2016, fans were treated to such Giants as three-time World Champion Buster Posey, Gold Glove winner Brandon Crawford, and two-time All-Star Johnny Cueto. They took the field against River Cats favorites, including Jarrett Parker, Mac Williamson, and Ryan Lollis.
The 2018 River Cats versus Giants Exhibition Game is scheduled for Saturday, March 24.
