Giants look to break 3-game skid, take on the Reds
The Giants seek to end a three-game skid as Chase Burns brings a 14-2 record and 2.51 ERA for the Reds.
The San Francisco Giants return to Oracle Park on Monday to open a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, with left-handed pitcher Carson Whisenhunt starting the opener.
Rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge will miss the series after being placed on the bereavement list; Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reported the 21-year-old is attending his grandfather's funeral in Virginia.
San Francisco currently holds a 52-78 record, sitting fourth in the National League West, and returns home after being swept by the Boston Red Sox, marking their seventh consecutive series loss.
The Cincinnati Reds enter with a 62-69 record, ranking sixth in the majors with 169 total home runs and averaging 1.3 per game.
Following this three-game set, the Giants host National League West rival Arizona Diamondbacks for a four-game series beginning Thursday, needing at least 11 wins of their final 32 games to avoid a 100-loss season.
