The Giants will go for the sweep of the division rival Arizona Diamondbacks today and will send out their ringer Madison Bumgarner (9-4, 2.09 ERA) with hopes of doing just that. The D-backs will counter with the young Archie Bradley (3-4, 4.83 ERA) as they try to avoid the sweep and their fourth straight loss.
Archie has had some good outings this year, but not against the Giants. In his lone start against San Francisco this season, Bradley got knocked around for seven hits and five runs and lasted only 4.1 innings. What’s more alarming is that Bradley got roughed up in both of his last two starts against the Phillies and the Padres. Both of those teams are in the bottom half of the league in runs scored – the Phillies are second last.
After a couple rough starts, Bumgarner got back on track in his last outing vs the Rockies. He pitched six scoreless innings and allowed only four hits to the sluggers from Denver. The former World Series MVP has been brilliant in his two starts vs the Diamondbacks this year, going 2-0 with a 1.72 ERA over 15.2 innings.
