Jordan Hicks vs. Javier Assad.
Hey, would you look at that, it’s time for a brand new series. The San Francisco Giants are back on the road, and they’re taking on one of the teams they’re battling in Wild Card positioning: the Chicago Cubs.
Kicking off the series for the Giants is righty Jordan Hicks, who makes his 15th start of the year. In his first year with the Giants, he’s 4-3 with a 3.01 ERA, a 3.67 FIP, and 64 strikeouts to 24 walks in 71.2 innings. He’s been in a little bit of a funk lately, and had his last start cut short due to illness.
For the Cubs it’s righty Javier Assad, who is also making his 15th start of the year. Assad is 4-2 on the season with a 2.81 ERA, a 3.95 FIP, and 72 strikeouts to 30 walks in 73.2 innings. He also hasn’t been at his sharpest his last few times out.
Enjoy the game! Go Giants!
