Giants seek third victory on trip behind Samardzija, plus lineups
Giants seek third victory on trip behind Samardzija, plus lineups
CINCINNATI — I’ve heard a lot of angst back home about the Giants bullpen, especially after they blew a couple of games.
[...] it’s nothing like here.
The Reds’ combustible bullpen can set a modern major-league record by allowing at least one run in 21 consecutive games.
Staffer: “Let’s get a win tonight.”
Security guard: “We need a complete game.”
The Reds are taking left-hander John Lamb off the disabled list for his first start this season.
Jeff Samardzija goes for his fourth win coming off a 13-9 victory at home against the Padres.
The Giants are seeing a second left-hander in a row but the lineup is far different.
For one thing, it has four left-handed hitters, including Gregor Blanco, who starts against Mac Williamson.
