· 2026-06-29
The San Francisco Giants, standing 13th in the National League with a 35-48 record, won their last game 3-2 vs Atlanta Braves on 2026-06-28.
The Giants face the Athletics in a three-game interleague series, seeking to recover from recent losses.
The Athletics, with a 38-40 record, were swept by the Giants in their previous meeting in San Francisco.
Robbie Ray will start for the Giants, while Aaron Civale will pitch for the Athletics, with Civale having a 4-1 record and 2.30 ERA in six career starts against the Giants.
Ray has gone 2-3 with a 3.23 ERA in eight career starts against the Athletics.
The Giants saw a promising trip get away from them with three consecutive losses to the Marlins after sweeping a pair in Atlanta.
The Athletics had a chance to take a 3-1 home-series win over the Los Angeles Angels but lost 9-7 after relievers Hogan Harris and Elvis Alvarado gave up late home runs.
Giants manager Tony Vitello downplayed an incident involving Rafael Devers, who was reluctant to leave the field for a pinch-runner after leading off the ninth inning with a walk.
The series will feature the Giants' newly promoted player Joey Meneses, who is expected to get most of his at-bats against left-handed pitchers, including the Athletics' starter.
Meneses earned a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas, where he was hitting .348, and will play as a DH and first baseman.
