5/17 Gamethread: Giants vs. A’s

Hey, it’s time for the second game of the artist formerly known as the Bay Bridge Series. After a delightful win on Friday night, the San Francisco Giants will look to take the series tonight when they host the Roaming Athletics, formerly of Oakland, currently of Sacramento, and futurely of Las Vegas.

The Giants are giving the ball to righty Landen Roupp, who makes his ninth start of the year. He’s 2-3 on the season, with a 4.73 ERA, a 4.00 FIP, and 42 strikeouts to 14 walks in 40 innings. Roupp gave up three runs, two of which were earned, in five innings against the Minnesota Twins in his last game.

On the other side is the A’s big offseason acquisition, and the recipient of the largest contract in franchise history: right-hander Luis Severino, who is playing in his 10th MLB season. Severino has been a bit of a disappointment through nine starts with his new team, going 1-4 with a 4.70 ERA, a 3.75 FIP, and 40 strikeouts to 19 walks in 53.2 innings. He got shellacked his last time out, giving up eight runs in four innings against the team he spent the first eight years of his career with, the New York Yankees.

Enjoy the game! Go Giants!
