Arizona Diamondback will face giants for the first time in this season and get acquainted with Justin Verlander in a new uniform when the National League West rivals started a three -game series in San Francisco on Monday night.
Both teams are exiting the experiences concluded with disappointing flights in San Francisco on Sunday night.
Diamondback’s 8–1 house disadvantage ended a tense four-game set against Los Angeles Dojers on Sunday afternoon. It also acted as a consistency of a rugged 24-day stretch, in which Arizona has seen Chicago cubs, Tampa Bay rays, Atlanta Brevs, New York Mets, Philadelphia Philis and Dosters a total of 22 times.
The Diamondback Gauntlet has just 9–13, who are alternative losses and winning against the Philos, Mats and Dojers in their previous nine outings.
Meanwhile, the veterans flew away from home with a three-game losing streak-all one-run defeat in an interlag matchup with the children’s twins.
The third of the three disappointments was the most difficult. The veterans started 3–0 and then going to the bottom of 6-5 10th, only Ryan Walker’s twins to see two-out single, two-out single for Dashavan Karsi Junior in the defeat to Twins 7-6.
“Sometimes baseball is a cruel game,” veteran manager Bob Melvin said after Sunday’s defeat, which he saw from the club house after taking out in the ninth innings. “Just a hard chain for us. We have to go home and lift our head, play well at home like we have.”
The veterans have won their previous three home chains over Millvauki Brevers, Texas Rangers and Colorado Rockies. Two out of two of those 10 games came into harder, however, began in Verlander.
Verlander (0–2, 4.50 ERA) has so far registered one win in eight, which began since signing with San Francisco in Offsin. Three out of the eight won the team, including 14–5, 11-inning Triumph on the cub last Tuesday, with 42-year-old with five innings with a 5–3 lead.
His discovery for career win number 263 will continue against a diamondback team, which he is facing only eight times in its 20 sessions. The right-handed batsman has started 5–2 with 3.14 ERA in eight, which begins despite scoring eight runs in just three innings in the head-to-head of 2024 with Houston Astro.
Verlander has been opposed by Arizona’s Scheduled Starter on Monday, the right-handed Merrill Kelly (3-2, 4.09 ERA), just once in his career, and both pigered well in Astros’s 1-0 win in 2023. Verlander threw five shutouts to win, while the house was a hard-hand harder after a run.
Giants will see a diamondback team that relatively rests well despite their recent schedule. Arizona’s manager Tori Lovulo gave Luardes to Guril Junior on a day off on Saturday, then made Katel Marte seated on Sunday despite a matchup with powerful doseers.
“We are going here in a real good rhythm, where he is finally going to play in a row in six, seven days,” Luvulo said about Marte, who missed with a stressful left hamstring about a month before this season.
For Guril, the manager said: “He came to my office (and) said,” I am tired. I need a day very soon. “
Kelly has surpassed 7-5 with 3.30 ERAs at the beginning of 19 career against veterans.
