It’s once again time for a new series. The last time the San Francisco Giants were on the road, they earned a sweep. And the last time they faced the St. Louis Cardinals, they won three games. Ergo, they should sweep this three-game road series against the Cardinals ... right?
That’s my math and I’m sticking to it.
Roster note: prior to the game, the Giants called up righty Keaton Winn and optioned righty Tristan Beck. Winn, who will make his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game, will pitch in the role that Beck (who had appeared twice in the last three games, throwing 85 pitches) had been in.
