The San Francisco Giants are on a roll right now and face a squad that’s struggled to do much damage in the win column. The Giants, who have won 11 of their last 12, tangle with the lowly San Diego Padres in National League action on Monday.
San Fran is a perfect 6-0 against the Friars this season, limiting them to one run in each contest. The Giants have made due without right fielder Hunter Pence due to a hamstring injury, but his return is expected at some point in the series.
The Padres will send Drew Pomeranz to the bump, while the Giants are slated to counter with Johnny Cueto. Pomeranz (4-4, 1.96 ERA) has allowed a total of three runs in his four starts this month but is only 2-2 as a result of his team’s inconsistent play behind him. Cueto (6-1, 2.70) is 3-0 over his last five starts, allowing two runs or fewer on four occasions.
