Jordan Hicks vs. Bradley Blalock.
It’s day baseball time! After a disappointing series opener on Thursday, the San Francisco Giants recovered with a delightful win on Friday night against the Colorado Rockies, and now they look to go ahead in the series.
Taking the mound for the Giants is right-hander Jordan Hicks, who makes his seventh start of the season. How you view Hicks’ season likely depends on how you view different pitching metrics, as he’s 1-3 with a 6.12 ERA, a 3.68 FIP, and 27 strikeouts against 13 walks in 32.1 innings. His last outing was his best in a while, as he gave up two runs with no walks in five innings against the Texas Rangers.
On the other side is right-hander Bradley Blalock, a pitcher I’ve definitely absolutely heard of, no doubt about it. Blalock, a 24-year old who has appeared in just 10 games in his young career, will make his second start of the year, and his fourth total appearance. He’s 0-1 with a 10.29 ERA, a 6.77 FIP, and three strikeouts to two walks in seven innings. He made his first start of the year his last time out, and gave up six runs in four innings against the Cincinnati Reds.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants!
