After hosting a pair of American League opponents, San Francisco legends open another three-game home series against Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.
After starting a nine-game homestand with three one-run cases in six outings, the veterans started the first week in Major in a win win.
A tired team was shut down on Monday, a day after experienced a rareness in this season-Boston win over a 9–5 win over Red Sox by more than one run. The 19-one-run win of veterans was four more than any other team through Sunday’s Games.
“This is not just the last innings. It seems that every game comes on the last pitch,” said Giants Manager Bob Melvin. “We are doing war-testing. It is going forward, it should be good for us.
“It’s not that we get nervous in these games. What they do with Bulpen, we always feel that we have a very good chance to win them. It would be good to win by three or four runs and should not be closer in the game every time.
“But it’s going to be good for us below the road.”
Nine-game stretch, in which he had to deal with Los Angeles Dojers, Cleveland Guardian and Red Sox, the veterans now see the other end of the standing spectrum in Marlins and Chicago White Sox for six competitions this week.
The Marlins series is a rematch of three-market set bridges in May and June with no more than two runs decided. In fact, a total of nine runs were scored in the series, in which the gynts won 2–0 and 4–2, which lost 1–0.
Marlins Right-Hander Cal Quantryl (3-7, 5.68 ERA) will open the series for Miami as he did in the last meeting. He was a loser in the 2–0 veterans win on May 30, who scored just two runs in five innings with season-hai seven strikes.
The disadvantage was the first defeat of Stanford product in seven careers that begins against the legends. He has gone 3–1 with 3.13 ERA in the games, only one of which has been in San Francisco, where he won Cleveland 3–1 in 2023.
While Quantrill tries to live without a loss in Orall Park, experienced Justin Verlander (0–4, 4.45 ERA) will once again try to win anywhere as a member of the veterans.
Verlander, who is making his eighth domestic start of the season, never lost to Marlins in his career, going 2–0 with 2.63 ERAs in the beginning.
He will see the Miami team descending the 2–1 series at home at Atlanta Braves.
With three wins in seven matches against Philadelphia Philos and Braves after three direct win in Washington, Marlins manager Cleetan McCuloff believes that his club is playing a good ball on the eve of the six-game Western Swing.
“Always good to win a chain, especially at home, and especially when you feel that you know that you have played enough to win,” he assured. “Good to get a (Sunday), win the series before exiting the West.”
