SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineup vs. Philadelphia Phillies, April 14

This road trip is a good early litmus test for the Giants, as they are off to one of their better starts in franchise history. Facing off against the Yankees and Phillies on the road is a good challenge. So far, they have done well with that and now take on the Phillies for four games.

This also might be a good litmus test for Roupp. The right-handed hurler has been one of the team's better starting pitchers since the end of last season. He has posted a 3.60 ERA through two starts. His start against the Houston Astros where he yielded three earned runs in four innings was better than the topline numbers suggest. He was getting hitters to swing and miss, but his control was shaky after a long layoff between the end of spring training and his first start of the year.

The 26-year-old pitcher help the Cincinnati Reds to just one earned run across six innings. Interestingly, he led with his sinker all game, leading to a lot of ground ball contact, while the curveball was not deployed as much as it has been in the past.

Who is hot for the SF Giants?

The Giants' win on Sunday was all about Jung Hoo Lee. He blasted two home runs and collected four RBI in a 5-4 win over the Yankees. It was the first multi-homer game of his young career.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants are facing off against veteran pitcher Taijuan Walker. Walker has not allowed an earned run across 10.2 innings this spring. He will mix in a bevy of pitches, including a cutter, splitter, curveball, and two types of fastballs. The fastball sits in the low 90's.
