6/6 Gamethread: Giants at Cubs
· Yahoo Sports
After an offensive explosion on Friday, the San Francisco Giants are back at it today, hoping to make it three straight games with a double-digit run total … and more importantly, four straight games with a win.
Taking the mound for San Francisco is right-hander Landen Roupp, who makes his 13th start of the season. The 27-year old is 5-6 on the year, with a 4.22 ERA, a 2.82 FIP, and 72 strikeouts to 27 walks in 64 innings. His last outing was his worst of the year, as he gave up eight runs in four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. Roupp had back discomfort in the game and a notable dip in velocity, so it’s worth keeping an eye on him in this one.

For the Chicago Cubs, it’s right-hander Ben Brown. The 26-year old began the year as a reliever, but has transition into a starting role lately. In 17 appearances, he’s 2-2 with a 1.92 ERA, a 2.23 FIP, and and 53 strikeouts to 15 walks in 51.2 innings. In five starts, he’s been even better, going 1-1 with a 1.73 ERA, a 1.80 FIP, and 29 strikeouts against seven walks in 26 innings. He was excellent in his last start, holding the St. Louis Cardinals to just one run in seven innings.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants!
