The San Francisco Giants (44-37) are in town for a three-game set to take on the White Sox (26-55), who are coming off of yet another series loss after dropping two of three to the Diamondbacks. The South Siders are 3-7 in their last 10 and their offense is batting just .218 over the past 30 days — ranked 29th of 30 teams.
