SAN FRANCISCO — Left-hander Madison Bumgarner is scheduled to make the first home start since his infamous dirt bike accident when the San Francisco Giants open a four-game series against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.
Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin is slated to get the ball for the Padres to open a series of the bottom two teams in the National League West.
The Padres won two of three against the Giants when they met last week in San Diego.
That series included Bumgarner’s return from the disabled list Saturday night following a nearly three-month absence that resulted from his off-day mishap in Colorado.
