After being activated on Monday, Pablo Sandoval will be making his first start since July 24th. He will bat fifth, and play third.
It should be noted that this is practically one of the few times all season that San Francisco will have everyone at full strength.
Madison Bumgarner will look to shutdown a potent Nationals' lineup that scored a season-high 14 runs last night. He will oppose Jordan Zimmerman, who now leads the National League with a 2.35 ERA, after Ryan Vogelsong salavaged the lead last night, allowing eight earned runs.
Notes:
- Last night, the Nationals became just the eighth team to score 14 or more runs in a game during AT&T Park's history.
- Brad Penny was placed on DL prior to tonight's game with shoulder soreness. According to Henry Schulman, Penny said that his shoulder has been bothering him since he started pitching in Fresno before coming up to the Giants. Penny's opponents batting average of (.301) is the highest mark in the majors.
- Dan Otero will take Penny's place on the roster.
- Ryan Zimmerman and Mike Morse have combined to hit five home runs off Bumgarner in just 14 at-bats coming into tonight's matchup.
- In 18 career innings against Washington, Bumgarner is 1-2 with a 4.00 ERA. That includes a start earlier this season in which he gave up seven runs in five innings.
- Zimmerman allowed just one run and fanned seven batters over six innings in a start earlier this season to the Giants.
- Zimmerman's 2012 ERA has yet to eclipse 2.92.
- The Giants are 0-4 against the Nationals this season, and have been outscored 38-14 in those four contests.
