7/5 Gamethread: Giants vs. Cardinals

I sure do love that new series smell, don’t you? This time it’s the San Francisco Giants facing off against the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time this season, which feels like a good time to think about all those times the Giants beat the Cardinals in the postseason.

Ahh, good memories.

Kevin Gausman is on the bump for the Giants and that’s gone well for them this year: they’ve gone 11-5 in his contests. The Giants will face Kwang Hyun Kim for the first time, and he’s been magnificent in his two MLB seasons, and has allowed just 9 home runs in 98.2 innings.

Programming note: No recap today as it is an observed holiday so I am not working.
