The San Francisco Giants are in the midst of 11 road games in 11 days, and their next stop is the city they called home from 1883 until 1957: New York.
But New York has a problem: rain.
The Giants and New York Mets were supposed to start a four-game series on Monday. Instead, that game got rained out long before it was supposed to start — and long before the rain began to fall, for that matter.
It’s still a four-game series, it’s just squeezed into three days. And, as many might have predicted when the season began, it’s a showdown between two of the top teams in the National League, and a few of the best pitchers, too.
