Good morning, San Francisco Giants fans. Yesterday’s game against the Atlanta Braves was postponed in between the top and the bottom of the second inning, and will kick off again today at 11:00 a.m. PT, as Game 1 of a doubleheader. San Francisco leads Atlanta 3-2. The original game will proceed as scheduled, at 4:15 p.m. PT … assuming the weather allows it.
Since the first game is on the early side, it’s a combo BP/Game 1 gamethread for you all. For better and for worse.
Assuming that the teams use their scheduled Wednesday starters in the first game — which would make sense given that the added 27th player is only available for the second game — then it should be a matchup between Robbie Ray and JR Ritchie. Ray, a lefty, has made 14 starts, and is 4-6 with a 4.42 ERA, a 5.25 FIP, and 66 strikeouts to 36 walks in 73.1 innings. Ritchie, a 22-year old rookie right-hander, is 1-1 in six games (five starts), with a 3.82 ERA, a 5.15 FIP, and 26 strikeouts to 18 walks in 30.2 innings.
Enjoy the game, everyone.
