"The play, the shot" (LaMonte Wade Jr. and SFGiants)" - MLB
The Giants will start Carlos Rodon on the mound against the Padres. He has had a pretty good season so far, boasting an ERA of 2.81 and raking in a massive 189 K's so far this season, with a 12-6 (W-L). He has been commanding full authority on the mound and has dished out an average of seven K's in at least six IP. He will look to shut out the Padres hitters early in the game.
The Padres will start Mike Clevinger on the hill. He has an ERA of 3.59 with a 4-5 (W-L). He hasn't been performing particularly well on the mound this season, but he has a WHIP of 1.16, which is pretty decent as he keeps hitters from reaching base. Coming off an injury this season, Clevinger will surely look to get back to his usual groove and perform well against the Giants.
