8/20 Gamethread: Giants @ Athletics

The Giants take on their Bay Bridge neighbors tonight, heading to Oakland to start a three game series against the Athletics.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be Alex Wood, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.14 ERA, 3.77 FIP, with 121 strikeouts to 35 walks in 115 innings pitched. The Giants have won Wood’s last five starts, despite a string of games in which he got roughed up for 4-5 runs each. His last start against the Rockies was a bit stronger, though, allowing six hits, two runs, one walk and striking out six in six and two thirds innings.
