Notes

Bullpen game: This is a scheduled bullpen game for the Giants, though it’s unclear if Conner Menez — who was a starter in the Minor Leagues — will be allowed to keep pitching if things are going smoothly. However, José Álvarez — who pitched two innings in the first game of the doubleheader — is the Giants only reliever who has pitched since Wednesday, so everyone else is available.

Enjoy the baseball, friends.
