It’s the rubber match between the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies, and it’s setting up to be a doozy with both Matt Cain and Cliff Lee taking the mound in a marquee matchup at AT&T Park.
The Giants will have the same starting four as last night, but will sit both lefties Brandon Belt and Aubrey Huff in favor of the right handed Brett Pill at first base, batting fifth. Ryan Theriot will do the same for Emmanuel Burriss, getting the start at second, batting sixth, while Nate Schierholtz and Brandon Crawford round out the rest of the lineup.
First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. PT this evening, with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM in and around the Bay. TCN and 1210 WPHT will have coverage in the Phillies areas.
