It’s time for the penultimate game of the regular season. One more day for the San Francisco Giants, and then it’s all over. And with a win over the San Diego Padres tonight, they could clinch a .500 record for the season.
The Giants are turning to righty Alex Cobb, who will move up a day to replace Carlos Rodón, whose season is probably over. Cobb has a 7-7 record on the year, with a 3.79 ERA, a 2.88 FIP, and 144 strikeouts to 43 walks in 144.2 innings. He’s had two straight rough outings, both against the Arizona Diamondbacks, in which he gave up nine runs in 10 innings, so he’ll try and bounce back strong.
