The Philadelphia Phillies (5-4) open a three-game series tonight against the struggling San Francisco Giants (3-7) at Oracle Park. Philadelphia hands the ball to Andrew Painter (1-0, 1.69 ERA) while the Giants turn to Adrian Houser (0-1, 1.69 ERA).
The Giants’ offense has been nonexistent to date this season. San Francisco scored a total of five runs over their last three games. They rank last in the majors with a .561 OPS and currently hold an MLB-worst -25 run differential through just 10 games. Winners of four of their last five, the Phillies are surviving offensively but not thriving. Bryce Harper and co. are hitting .227 as a team. They wrapped up their weekend series in Denver against the Rockies scoring three runs over the final two games.
As noted earlier, top prospect Andrew Painter is expected to start for Philadelphia tonight. The rookie dominated in his MLB debut with eight strikeouts over 5.1 innings in a 3-2 win over the Nationals on March 31. Veteran Adrian Houser lost in his season debut but was sharp allowing but one run over 5.1 innings against the Padres.
Lets dive into tonight’s matchup and the opener of this three-game series and find a sweat or two.
