Having dug themselves another hole, the San Francisco Giants will seek to repeat recent history when they attempt to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the visiting Atlanta Braves on Sunday night.
The final matchup of the regular season between the clubs is expected to turn into a second consecutive survey of the San Francisco bullpen, with Tristan Beck (3-2, 3.34 ERA) up first. The Giants used four relievers after opener Ryan Walker in Saturday's 7-3 loss.
Right-hander Jared Shuster (4-2, 5.00), recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the week, is the scheduled starter for the Braves.
