Mets regroup after injury; Giants bid to bounce back after rough day

The New York Mets’ six-game winning streak was snapped with a 10-0 loss Sunday at the Los Angeles Dodgers, two days after starting catcher Francisco Alvarez suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb. The Mets will need to tread on without Alvarez, who is set to undergo surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. New York manager Carlos Mendoza will employ a tandem of Omar Narvaez and

After bounce-back victory, Giants seek series win vs. D-backs

The San Francisco Giants, bouncing back Saturday after a 17-1 loss on Friday, will try to win the four-game series with the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks when the teams meet Sunday afternoon. San Francisco defeated Arizona 7-3 on Saturday, giving Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen (3-1) his first loss of the season. Giants catcher Patrick Bailey went 4-for-4 with three RBIs and nearly hit for the cycle. In the seventh inning, with a single, double and home

Giants look to rebound after rout by Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks enter the third game of a four-game series Saturday at the San Francisco Giants coming off left-hander Jordan Montgomery’s effective first start for the club and 22 hits that tied a franchise record in Friday’s 17-1 victory. After falling to Montgomery, a member of the Texas Rangers’ World Series championship team last year, the Giants will face Arizona’s two right-handed stalwarts in the rotation — Zac Gallen (3-0, 1.64 ERA) on Saturday

Jordan Montgomery set for D-backs debut vs. Giants

Two veteran pitchers who waited all winter and into the spring to find new homes in free agency will square off on Friday as the Arizona Diamondbacks and the host San Francisco Giants continue their four-game series. Jordan Montgomery is set to make his Diamondbacks debut when he opposes fellow left-hander Blake Snell. Montgomery and Snell will be hard-pressed to match the effort produced by the Giants’ Logan Webb in the series opener on Thursday.

Harold Ramirez, Rays look to run past Giants again

The Tampa Bay Rays will look for even more production from a slimmer Harold Ramirez in Saturday’s game against the San Francisco Giants in St. Petersburg, Fla. Ramirez legged out a pair of infield hits on Friday in a 3-for-4 outing that also saw him steal a base. “That’s what happens when you lose some weight, you can run better and faster,” said Ramirez, who scored both runs in Tampa Bay’s 2-1 win over San

Nationals’ Josiah Gray looks to get on track vs. Giants

Two pitchers trending in opposite directions this season will go head-to-head Tuesday night when the Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants continue their three-game series. Trevor Williams outdueled reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell in an 8-1 Nationals win in Monday’s series opener in San Francisco, spoiling Snell’s debut with the Giants. Right-hander Josiah Gray (0-2, 14.04 ERA) will attempt to duplicate Williams’ effort and extend his unbeaten run against the Giants

All even as Padres, Giants square off for seventh time

Someone will walk away with an edge after the San Diego Padres and host San Francisco Giants meet for a seventh time already this season on Sunday afternoon. Two teams, separated by just three games in the standings at the end of last season, have split their first six head-to-head meetings this year. The Padres squared the season series when Jurickson Profar hit a grand slam and Michael King threw a shutout over seven innings

Padres’ Michael King looks for support vs. Giants

Right-hander Michael King hopes his new teammates are as generous with their support as they’ve been in his first two starts of the season when the San Diego Padres visit the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night. After the teams split four games to open the Giants’ campaign in San Diego last week, San Francisco got a leg up when Thairo Estrada ended Friday’s home opener with a walk-off double in the ninth inning of

Jung Hoo Lee set for home debut as Giants battle Padres

The San Francisco Giants will get the opportunity to introduce Jung Hoo Lee and reintroduce Bob Melvin to their fans when they host their home opener against the San Diego Padres on Friday afternoon. The clubs met to open the Giants’ season in San Diego, where Melvin was the manager the past two years. He recorded his first two Giants wins in the middle two games of the series, before and after the Padres earned

Logan Webb, Giants look to subdue Dodgers

In a battle between two of the biggest spenders of the offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers got the best of the visiting San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Dodgers will try to do it again in the middle contest of a three-game series Tuesday night. While the Giants will return to Opening Day starter Logan Webb (0-0, 3.00 ERA), the Dodgers gave some clarity to their plan to give a break to their starters whenever
