9/25 Gamethread: Giants @ Diamondbacks

Sep 25, 2022 - 7:15 PM

It’s time for the series finale between the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks, as the Giants continue on their quest to fight back to .500 by season’s end. And they’ll do it with Ford Proctor, who got called up on Saturday and will play his second game with the team today.

With an injured rotation, the Giants are going with lefty Scott Alexander as an opener. Alexander has been excellent since joining the Giants this year, as he has a 1.38 ERA, a 2.96 FIP, and nine strikeouts to one walk in 13 innings. With José Álvarez and Jake McGee DFA’d, and Sam Long and Jarlín García having disappointing seasons, a few more strong performances from Alexander could make him a lock to be one of the lefties in the 2023 bullpen.

On the other side is righty Drey Jameson, who will make the third start of his young MLB career. The 2019 first-round pick has impressed in his first two starts, with a 1.38 ERA, a 2.73 FIP, and 12 strikeouts to two walks in 13 innings.

Go Giants.
