On Wednesday, just a couple days ahead of the beginning of Cactus League play on Friday, San Francisco Giants’ manager Bruce Bochy set the team’s rotation for the early Spring Training games. In doing so, he also telegraphed the regular season rotation.
On Friday when the Giants take on the Cincinnati Reds to officially start the spring schedule, Madison Bumgarner will start the game, piggybacked by Matt Cain. On Saturday, Ty Blach will start against the Chicago Cubs. Sunday will feature another piggyback tandem, with Matt Moore starting and Tyler Beede following him against the Reds.
