Well, Game 1 was a bust. Let’s try Game 2. It’s the second chance to yell “Beat LA,” as the San Francisco Giants are hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second game of a three-game series.
The Giants are giving the ball to a former Dodger, left-hander Alex Wood. Because the Giants have been mixing and matching their six starters, Wood has only appeared in one game this year. He wasn’t his sharpest in that performance, as he threw 3 innings against the Chicago White Sox and allowed 6 hits, 2 walks, and 3 runs (1 earned), with 3 strikeouts. Last year Wood went 8-12 with a 5.10 ERA, a 3.76 FIP, and 131 strikeouts in 130.2 innings.
On the other side is righty Dustin May, who has been one of the very best pitchers in the Majors this year. May — a former top prospect who is in his fifth MLB season but has thrown fewer than 160 innings in his career due to injuries — has pitched 13 innings in a pair of games and allowed just 5 hits, 3 walks, and 1 run, with 9 strikeouts. He’s a code that the Giants need to figure out how to crack.
Go Giants. Beat LA.
