The San Francisco Giants had an overall record of 58-57 heading into this contest. Although the Giants’ pitching has been uneven, their offence has been strong. The Giants rank eighth in baseball in terms of runs scored per game, averaging 4.57. Wilmer Flores has 58 RBIs and 16 home runs to his credit.
