The San Francisco Giants traded their two-time Gold Glove catcher and then, a few hours later, placed their two-time All-Star starting pitcher on the 15-Day Injured List. And yet, through it all, the games must go on, and the Giants still have a date with the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight. Landen Roupp makes the start for the Giants, as he looks to build on his great season.
The 27-year old right-hander has made seven starts this season, and is 5-2 with a 3. 18 ERA, a 2. 65 FIP, and 43 strikeouts against 16 walks in 39.
2 innings. He’s looking to bounce back from his worst start of the year, when he allowed four runs in 4. 1 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
