The San Francisco Giants are hoping to shake off their sweep against the New York Yankees by hitting the road again, where they’ll face someone they’re certainly fighting in the Wild Card standings, the reigning National League-champion Arizona Diamondbacks, who are having a fairly disappointing season.
The Giants are using a pitcher, probable multiple, likely many. It’s the turn in the order where the team had a Spencer Howard-fueled bullpen game last time, and I’m guessing that’s what they’ll do this time as well, though it’s possible that they activate Keaton Winn and push the bullpen game down in the week, to Blake Snell’s spot.
