Giants Look to Conclude Series Against Diamondbacks with Mahle on the Mound

The San Francisco Giants aim to finish their three-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a strong performance this afternoon at Chase Field. As both teams look to gain traction in the competitive landscape of the National League, today’s matchup features two pitchers seeking to turn the tide for their respective squads.

On the mound for the Giants is right-hander Tyler Mahle, who brings a 5.59 ERA and a 4.91 FIP into this contest. With 48 strikeouts and 21 walks over 46.2 innings pitched this season, Mahle is hoping to bounce back from his last outing, where he struggled in a 5-2 loss to the Athletics. In that game, he allowed five runs on ten hits while striking out six and walking one in five innings of work.

Opposing him will be Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly, who enters the game with a 5.91 ERA and a 5.94 FIP. Kelly has recorded 23 strikeouts against 18 walks in 35 innings pitched this season. His most recent start was a standout performance in a 9-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, where he allowed just one run on four hits and tallied three strikeouts over nine innings—an impressive feat at Coors Field.

As the Giants (20-29) take on the Diamondbacks (24-23), fans can catch the action starting at 12:40 p.m. PT. The game will be broadcast regionally on NBC Sports Bay Area, with radio coverage available on KNBR 680 AM/104.5 FM and KSFN 1510 AM.
