How to watch Giants vs. Rays

A depressing street journey is about to come to an finish. The San Francisco Giants are in Florida taking up the Tampa Bay Rays for some breakfast baseball (for us watching from the west coast, that’s… it is the least interesting and least alliterative lunch baseball the place the sport is), and so they’re hoping to salvage a win from an terrible journey. To this level, the Giants are 0-5, have been shut out twice, have blown ninth inning leads twice, and have scored eight runs.

Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, as he rightly makes his seventh begin of the season. He’s 1-4 on the 12 months, with a 5.87 ERA, a 5.47 FIP, and 29 strikeouts towards 17 walks in 30.2 innings. He’s attempting to bounce again from his final outing, when he opened the street journey by giving up 5 runs in as many innings to the Philadelphia Phillies.

On the opposite aspect is left-hander Steven Matz, who, like Mahle, is a veteran making his seventh begin together with his new workforce. Matz is 4-1 on the 12 months, and has a 4.31 ERA, a 5.06 FIP, and 27 strikeouts to 11 walks in 31.1 innings. He’s coming off a wonderful begin, when he held the Cleveland Guardians to two runs in seven innings.

Enjoy the baseball, everybody. Go Giants!
