The San Francisco Giants are kicking off their fourth series of the year, and it comes on the heels of a dramatic Sunday victory that gave them their first series win of the 2024 campaign. But with all due respect to the Giants lineup, and to their adversary, the Washington Nationals, this game is about one person: Blake Snell.
Snell, the reigning NL Cy Young winner, will be making his Giants debut tonight. While the team upgraded their hitting this offseason, they’re clearly trying to win with pitching and defense, and Snell’s first time taking the mound in orange and black represents just how much potential they now have with that blueprint.
