Ty Blach is coming off his best start of the season. The San Francisco Giants could use another strong outing from the left-hander as they try to avoid a sweep against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday afternoon.
The Phillies have won the first three games of the series at Citizens Bank Park. They'll try to make it four in a row in an afternoon matinee.
Philadelphia outscored the Giants 26-5 in the three games and has hit eight home runs against the San Francisco pitching staff. The Phillies were 11-3 winners on Wednesday night as Carlos Santana drove in five runs and Odubel Herrera extended his on-base streak to 38 games.
