The SF Giants are set to face the Washington Nationals on Friday night at Oracle Park. With their starting rotation banged up a bit, they have decided to employ the controversial opener strategy with reliever Matt Gage set to start on Friday.
This news comes via Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle who shared it on social media. The opener strategy will always rankle the feathers of some Giants fans given its association with the previous regime led by Farhan Zaidi.
