Kyle Harrison vs. Cal Quantrill.
It’s time for a new series and, after getting swept in the last one, the San Francisco Giants are hoping that this one goes better. On the bright side, the Miami Marlins are not the Detroit Tigers, so that’s a good starting point.
For the Giants, lefty Kyle Harrison is taking the mound, which is exciting. In five games this year, the electric southpaw is 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA, a 4.47 FIP, and 11 strikeouts to three walks in 9.1 innings. His last outing was his first start of the year, and he gave up two runs in four innings against the Washington Nationals. This might be his last start for a while, as Justin Verlander is likely to return the next pass through the rotation.
He’s up against right-hander Cal Quantrill, someone the Giants have seen a bit of since he’s been on two NL West teams in his career. Quantrill, a 30-year old who is in his seventh MLB season, has made 10 starts this year and is 3-4 with a 6.09 ERA, a 4.52 FIP, and 31 strikeouts to 15 walks in 44.1 innings. Despite the rough numbers, he’s been much better lately, with just one run allowed in each of his last two starts.
Notably, LaMonte Wade Jr. — whose roster spot is in serious jeopardy — is not in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher, though Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle noted that Quantrill is allowing a much higher batting average to right-handed hitters than to left-handed hitters this year. Also notable is that the Giants are facing a debuting player, as Marlins left fielder Heriberto Hernández will take the field for the first time in his career. Congrats to him on an amazing achievement.
Enjoy the game! Go Giants!
