The San Francisco Giants head across the Bay Bridge this afternoon to start another short series against the Oakland Athletics over at the Coliseum.
Sorry for the delay, usually I write these the day before but since neither team decided to choose a pitcher for either game ahead of time, well, it threw everything off.
Anyway, taking the mound for the Giants was Ross Stripling, who entered tonight’s game with a 5.52 ERA, 5.29 FIP, with 11 walks to 48 strikeouts in 62 innings pitched. His last appearance was in long relief in the Giants’ 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, in which he allowed one run on four hits with three strikeouts in four and a third innings.
