Qwerty is a winner,  Robinson was the 1B.    Come on you know more Q

OK rookie Jim Davenport hit leadoff for the Giants, followed by LF Jim King and then #24.  That was in the bottom of the 1st. I think it was vs the Dodgers, so the actual first hitter back in '58 must have been a Dodger. I think Pee Wee Reese hit 2nd in that lineup, in front of Snider and Hodges but I'm blanking on their leadoff hitter.

Edit: I looked it up. I won't spill the beans but I'm sure the reason why he was the first hitter was that he was a San Francisco boy.
