Game Preview

The San Francisco Giants kick off a critical three-game series at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, entering the final stretch of their playoff chase.

With 24 games left, the Giants (68-70) find themselves nine games behind the Diamondbacks (77-61) in the hunt for a National League wild-card berth, setting up a crucial showdown as they face Arizona six times in their remaining schedule.

After concluding their series against the Dodgers with an 11-6 loss, the Diamondbacks look to maintain their position just behind the San Diego Padres in the wild-card standings. The Giants, coming off a rest day, previously dropped two games to the Miami Marlins, further dampening their postseason aspirations.

The Giants, despite recent struggles and losing four of their last five games, received a boost from Mike Yastrzemski, who hit his 100th career home run, joining his grandfather in the century club of family home run hitters.

The series opener at Oracle Park will see Giants’ left-hander Kyle Harrison (7-6, 4.22 ERA) take the mound. Harrison has been formidable at home, giving up just seven runs over his last five home starts, where the Giants have won four times. He has faced the Diamondbacks twice this season, recording a 5.40 ERA in those outings.

For Arizona, Randal Grichuk, known for his prowess against lefties, is expected to play a significant role after contributing significantly in his recent appearances.

The Diamondbacks will counter with right-hander Ryne Nelson (9-6, 4.22 ERA), who comes off a strong performance streak, having allowed just two runs or fewer in his last four starts.

As the Giants try to salvage their season against teams ahead of them in the wild card race, including upcoming games against the Padres and Cardinals, they remain hopeful despite the odds.

Arizona’s playoff pursuit continues as they aim to solidify their standing, with Nelson looking to extend his effective pitching run against a Giants team that has historically struggled against him.
