Black is making his second start since being recalled by the Giants. With Robbie Ray on the injured list, there is a rotation spot open. For the time being, the Giants will lean on Black to cover those innings.

Overall, it has been a rough rookie campaign for the 24-year-old pitcher as he has posted a 7.45 ERA with 16 strikeouts against seven walks in 19.1 innings with San Francisco. He did have his best start in his last outing, allowing just two earned runs in five innings against the Miami Marlins.

Who is hot?

Patrick Bailey has been stuck in a brutal, prolonged slump at the plate. The switch-hitter has just four hits in 64 at-bats during the month of August. Perhaps, turning the page to September is helping as he has recorded a multi-hit game in two of his last three games. This includes a walk-off hit against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants will be facing off against Michael King. King is having a strong 2024 campaign in which he has recorded a 3.17 ERA in 27 outings. The right-handed pitcher has tallied a 2.84 ERA in three appearances in his career against San Francisco.
