It\u2019s the first game of August! Rejoice, San Francisco Giants fans \u2026. the season won\u2019t go on much longer. The Giants are in sunny SoCal for this contest, as they play the third of four games against the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n
Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, in what could very possibly be his final start with the team. The veteran has made 17 starts this year, and is 3-9 with a 4.96 ERA, a 4.41 FIP, and 80 strikeouts to 35 walks in 89 innings. After a rough start to the year, Mahle has been much better lately, and he was excellent his last time out, when he tossed six shutout frames against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Giants are likely hoping that his recent hot stretch will make him a tradable asset ahead of Monday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n
For the Padres, it\u2019s old foe Walker Buehler, a right-hander. The two-time All-Star, who tormented the Giants for years while on the Los Angeles Dodgers, is trying to get his career back on track but is having a rough go of it. In 21 starts this year, the 32-year old is 6-5 with a 5.13 ERA, a 4.35 FIP, and 91 strikeouts to 42 walks in exactly 100 innings. In his last start, against the Miami Marlins, Buehler gave up three runs (two earned) in 5.1 innings.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the game, everyone!<\/p>\n
