Time for a new series, and I’m guessing you’ll join me in wishing that this one goes a hell of a lot better than the last one did. But the San Francisco Giants are hosting the San Diego Padres, so it might not exactly be easy.
But they’ll try.
And they’ll kick things off with their ace and a Cy Young candidate, lefty Carlos Rodón, who enters the game with a 12-6 record, a 2.81 ERA, a 2.25 FIP, and 189 strikeouts to 41 walks in 147.1 innings. He’s coming off a masterpiece against the Detroit Tigers in which he struck out 10 batters in seven innings of one-run ball.
