Giants Host Cardinals in Series Finale at Oracle Park
The San Francisco Giants wrap up a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals tonight at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for the Bay Area showdown featuring two clubs heading in opposite directions this season.
Probable Pitchers: Roupp vs. Mathews
Right-hander Landen Roupp takes the mound for San Francisco. The 26-year-old enters the start with a 4.17 ERA and 3.70 FIP across 144.2 innings, striking out 137 batters while walking 68. In his most recent outing last Wednesday, Roupp delivered five innings of one-run ball against the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing two hits with four strikeouts and two walks in a 5-4 Giants victory.
Opposing him is Cardinals left-hander Quinn Mathews. The rookie southpaw carries a 4.38 ERA and an impressive 3.26 FIP through 24.2 innings in his debut season. Mathews has posted 24 strikeouts against 12 walks. His last start came Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he surrendered one run on four hits with four strikeouts and four walks over five innings in a 3-2 St. Louis loss.
