SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Cincinnati Reds, August 2

The Giants have struggled badly on the road this season. They have a 21-33 and playing in Cincinnati has been a tough challenge for the team in recent years. This will be followed by a four-game series against the Washington Nationals.

The Giants have to like their chances with Snell on the mound. The lefty has a 5.10 ERA in 10 starts this season. He is coming off of an excellent outing against the Colorado Rockies where tallied six scoreless frames with 15 strikeouts.

Who it hot?

Matt Chapman has recorded a hit in six of his last eight games. He has tallied 11 hits, including two home runs, and seven walks in 28 at-bats during that stretch. Chapman can be a streaky hitter, but he is seeing the ball well right now.
