The San Francisco Giants are coming off their fifth straight win after taking down the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second game of the series 11-0. They will look for another series win as they try to spoil postseason chances for their division rivals.
San Francisco will turn to rookie Mason Black (1-4, 5.88) to keep the winning streak alive. The 24-year-old will be making his eighth start of the season for the Giants. In his last outing, Black picked up his first career win against the Kansas City Royals after one his best starts since making his MLB Debut this past May. The former Leigh pitcher threw 5.2 shutout innings and picked up four strikeouts.
Black will face Arizona staff ace Zac Gallen (13-6, 3.74) as the team looks to get back on track and remain in the National League Playoff race. The 29-year-old is also coming off a victory in his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers. It wasn’t his best outing, however, as Gallen went five innings and allowed four runs on seven hits. He picked up five strikeouts and only allowed one walk.
Here are the lineups for tonight’s matchup:
