It’s time for a new series, and that finally feels like an exciting thing. After dispatching of a lowly division rival in their first three-game sweep since mid-July, the San Francisco Giants will try and keep the good times rolling with a three-game set hosting the Cleveland Guardians.
After having his start pushed back a day, righty Alex Cobb takes the bump for the 27th time. An All-Star earlier this year, Cobb is 7-6 with a 3.74 ERA, a 3.94 FIP, and 128 strikeouts to 35 walks in 144.1 innings. He struggled his last time out, giving up four runs in three innings against the San Diego Padres, but in the outing before that he tossed a one-hitter.
