The San Francisco Giants came out of the All-Star break carrying some momentum, and we all clamored for them to do the honorable thing and Beat LA.
They did not.
Now they get a chance for a redo. After getting swept in a four-game series by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Giants get to host LA for another four-game series.
Redemption time? We can certainly hope.
The trade deadline, which is Tuesday, hangs over the series to begin things. The two Giants who have been most prominently mentioned as trade bait won't play, as Carlos Rodón isn't scheduled to pitch until the next series, and Joc Pederson is currently on the Injured List.
