Robbie Ray vs. José Berríos.
It’s breakfast baseball for the San Francisco Giants today, who, while playing at a normal time of day in Ontario, are getting started at just 9:05 a.m. for their fans in the Bay Area. And be warned, if you’re one of those fans: today’s game is on Roku. You can watch it for free on the Roku app or on Roku’s website. If you’re an MLB TV subscriber, you can watch the game on that app as well.
After squandering a Logan Webb start on Saturday, the Giants are in danger of being swept by the Toronto Blue Jays. That wouldn’t be a great way to start the second half of the season!
Newly-minted two-time All-Star Robbie Ray will try to save the Giants, as the lefty takes the mound for the 21st time this year, which will tie him with Webb for the most in the Majors. It’s been a sensational season for Ray, who is 9-3 with a 2.65 ERA, a 3.49 FIP, and 128 strikeouts against 44 walks in 119 innings. In his final start before the break, he pitched six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and gave up two runs.
He’s up against right-hander José Berríos, who is also a two-time All-Star (though he hasn’t been selected in six years). Like Ray, Berrís will be making his MLB-leading 21st start today, though his numbers are a bit more pedestrian: he’s 5-4 with a 3.75 ERA, a 4.29 FIP, and 97 strikeouts to 41 walks in 115.1 innings. He got rocked in his final start of the first half, giving up four runs in three innings against the Athletics.
Enjoy the game! Enjoy breakfast! Go Giants!
