Giants rookie center fielder Grant McCray wasted no time collecting multiple MLB milestones in San Francisco's 6-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday at Oracle Park.

McCray, whom San Francisco promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, collected his first career hit on an RBI bunt single in the bottom of the second inning, giving the Giants an early 1-0 lead.

The 23-year-old walked in his second at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning before crushing his first career home run to left field in the bottom of the sixth to extend the Giants' lead to 5-0.

McCray's father was in attendance and loved every second of his son's milestone.

After an 0-for-4 day at the plate in his MLB debut on Wednesday, McCray bounced back in a big way Thursday and collected a pair of keepsakes along the way.
