Andrew Painter threw 29 pitches in a two-inning Arizona Fall League start on Saturday. His first pitch registered 98 mph, and he touched 100 mph two throws later.

Painter struck out highly-regarded Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge to end a 1-2-3 first inning.

He was knocked around in the second, allowing two runs on three hits (including a home run). But Andrew Painter is back in business.
