The San Francisco Giants finally kick off a four-game series against the New York Mets this afternoon at Citi Field, as they embark upon game one of a double-header after last night’s game was postponed due to weather.
The Mets are coming in hot, leading the NL East after a week of early season success similar to the Giants.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be Alex Cobb, making his second start for the club. His first start was against the San Diego Padres last Tuesday, in which he gave up two runs on four hits with two walks and 10 strikeouts in five innings of work.
