SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Washington Nationals, August 5

While the Nationals are in the midst of rebuild, they have generally played the Giants well in recent seasons. The Giants have only won two of their last nine games against Washington since the start of the 2023 season. Plus, the Giants have struggled to a 23-34 record on the road in 2024.

They will lean on Webb to buck that trend. The 27-year-old pitcher has established himself as one of the workhorse pitchers in baseball. In 2024, Webb has recorded a 3.49 ERA in 23 starts. His 144.1 innings leads the NL. The right-handed pitcher shut out the Oakland A's in his last start while leading the team to a 1-0 victory.

Who it hot?

Tyler Fitzgerald is one of the hottest hitters in baseball at the moment. The right-handed bat added two more hits, including a home run, in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Reds. Over his last 16 games, he has recorded 21 hits, with 10 of them being home runs, and 17 RBI in 60 at-bats.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The SF Giants will be facing off against veteran lefty Patrick Corbin. Corbin has struggled to the tune of a 5.88 ERA in 22 starts this season. This will be his 30th career appearances against the Giants and he has held them to a 3.58 ERA during that time.
