Giants look to extend modest winning-streak against scuffling Diamondbacks
Hitter to Watch
Not all who put on the hideous Diamondbacks uniforms are lost. John Ryan Murphy, a tertiary character from a William Faulkner novel and tertiary catcher on Arizona’s depth chart, is hitting .265/.291/.614. In just 87 plate appearances, he’s hit 8 home runs and put together a .349 ISO. One of those home runs, he hit against the Giants. It’s been all-or-nothing for him, though, as he has a 27% strikeout rate and a 3% walk rate. Basically, he’s been Gorkys Hernandez but with more power and less batted-ball luck.
Pitcher to Watch
In two starts against the Giants, one of which being a complete-game shutout, Patrick Corbin has pitched 14.1 IP, struck out 17, while only giving up 3 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks. Corbin has found a lot of success this year by throwing his slider much more often and relying on his sinker rather than his fastball. Even after getting knocked around for 6 runs his last time out, he still has an ERA under 3.00 (but just barely at 2.99).
He’s starting Tuesday night against Bumgarner, so if you love baseball but hate all the run-scoring, that’s the game to watch.
Just as Pollock did.Peralta has been doing great in the clean-up spot. And Goldy better in #2
I hope that is so. We'll see if it is "seems" or "seemed".Goldy seems to hit well there.
See post #11.And another walk. Baseloaded. What in the world happen to this kid?
