8/23 Gamethread: Giants @ Red Sox
· Yahoo Sports
It’s time for some day baseball, and the San Francisco Giants are looking to salvage one win in the series finale against the Boston Red Sox.
Visit betsport.cv for more information.
Taking the mound for San Francisco is rookie lefty Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson, who makes his second appearance. Wilkinson, a burly 23-year old acquired in May’s Patrick Bailey trade, made his MLB debut last week and pitched two awesome innings against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing just one hit and no runs. It seems likely that Wilkinson will get stretched out more in this game, as the Giants have announced that Adrian Houser will return to the rotation on Tuesday, so Tugboat isn’t just an opener.
Boston is also turning to a southpaw pitching in his first season, as they’re using 25-year old lefty Jake Bennett. A second-round pick in 2022, Bennett has made 14 starts in his debut year, and is 7-6 with a 3.46 ERA, a 3.28 FIP, and 61 strikeouts to 17 walks in 80.2 innings. He’s been struggling lately though, and gave up four runs in as many innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his last start.
Enjoy the game, everyone!
