NEW YORK -- As expected, a strained hamstring will keep Eduardo Nuñez out of the Wild Card Game. Nuñez was not listed on the roster the Giants submitted to Major League Baseball on Wednesday morning, and there were no real surprises.
The Giants are carrying 11 pitchers, including three starters. Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija made it to back up Madison Bumgarner, who threw a complete game in his last wild card game. The other relievers: Santiago Casilla, George Kontos, Derek Law, Javier Lopez, Steven Okert, Sergio Romo, Will Smith and Hunter Strickland.
With Nuñez out for the seventh straight game, Conor Gillaspie will certainly get the start at third base.
