SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Baltimore Orioles, September 18

The SF Giants looked like a totally different team on Tuesday after scoring 10 runs and shutting out the Baltimore Orioles for the win. They will lean on rookie righty Hayden Birdsong to keep the momentum going.

SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Baltimore Orioles, September 18

The Giants lineup is one odd area on the roster. They scored 13 runs in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers less than a week ago. They followed that up with three straight shutouts where it looked like they just could not scratch a rally together. Now, they managed to score 10 runs against a team that will almost certainly reach the playoffs.

Birdsong will look to finish the year on a positive note. He completed five scoreless innings against the Milwaukee Brewers in his last outing. Overall, he has posted a 4.74 ERA with 68 strikeouts against 36 walks in 57 frames with San Francisco.

Who is hot?

Similar to Birdsong, LaMonte Wade Jr. is looking to finish the season on a high note after a brutal midseason slump. He has now recorded a hit in six of his last seven games. This includes a two-hit effort with two RBI on Tuesday night.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants will face off against veteran pitcher Dean Kremer. Kremer has tallied a 4.10 ERA in 22 starts this season. He has only pitched against the Giants once before, allowing two earned runs across six innings in a Baltimore win.
