The Giants can sweep their second straight series and pick up their season-high fifth straight win if they beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Oracle Park.
Jeff Samardzija takes the mound for San Francisco, and has been solid at home all season. In 32 innings at Oracle Park in 2019, Samardzija owns a 1.16 WHIP and has struck out 8.2 batters per nine innings. On the road, he has a 1.26 WHIP and averages 6.8 strikeouts per nine innings.
The Brewers, sitting first place in the NL Central, will trot out a lefty-heavy lineup in order to best "The Shark." Milwaukee will only start three right-handed hitters -- and one-switch hitter -- Sunday, which is surprising considering right-handed hitters have hit much better against Samardzija (.263 batting average) than lefties (.203) this season.
First pitch for Brewers vs. Giants is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT with pregame coverage beginning at noon. You can follow all the action on NBC Sports Bay Area and streaming online and on the MyTeams app.
