It’s time for a series, and it’s a big one. The Boston Red Sox are in town to visit the San Francisco Giants, and, just five days after the big trade, Rafael Devers will face his old team. He won’t be playing first base, though.
The Giants also made a roster move before the game, calling up infielder Brett Wisely and placing pitcher Justin Verlander on paternity leave. Hoping for the best for Justin and his wife Kate Upton!
Taking the mound for the Giants is righty Hayden Birdsong. In 16 games, including five starts, the youngster is 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA, a 3.66 FIP, and 51 strikeouts against 19 walks in 48.1 innings. He’s up against righty Hunter Dobbins, a rookie with 11 appearances and nine starts. He has a 4-1 record, a 3.74 ERA, a 3.66 FIP, and 42 strikeouts and 11 walks in 55.1 innings.
Enjoy the game! Go Giants!
