It’s time for the meat between the baseball bread that is the sandwich series. Or something like that. In other words, it’s Game 2 of the three-game set between the San Francisco Giants and the Boston Red Sox.
Righty Blade Tidwell takes the mound for San Francisco, as he makes his 12th appearance and fourth start of the season. The 25-year old has yet to record a decision, and has a 4.33 ERA, a 3.79 FIP, and 20 strikeouts to 10 walks in 27 innings. After pitching wonderfully in his first two starts of the season, Tidwell got rocked his last time out, allowing six runs in 4.1 innings against the Colorado Rockies.
For the Red Sox, it’s 29-year old left-hander Patrick Sandoval (no relation). Sandoval has made seven starts this season, after returning in July from a nearly two-year absence due to Tommy John surgery. The southpaw is 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA, a 3.67 FIP, and 35 strikeouts to 16 walks in 34 innings. He got rocked in his last start, allowing seven runs in four innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Enjoy the baseball, everyone.
