Giants Face Phillies in Key NL Matchup Tonight

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The San Francisco Giants (11-4) continue their East Coast road trip today against the Philadelphia Phillies (9-6) in a pivotal matchup that could impact the National League standings. The game is set to start at 7:05 PM ET with Giants pitcher Landen Roupp facing off against Phillies ace Taijuan Walker.

Last night, the Phillies suffered a shutout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-0. Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler struggled on the mound, yielding four runs across six innings, during the series that saw the Cardinals take two out of three games.
