Giants, Vogelsong Look To Extend Winning Streak To 4: Preview, Lineups

The Giants and Diamondbacks put on a show yesterday, with an extra innings thriller, but what's in store for tonight's matchup between the two N.L West foes?

Ryan Vogelsong will take the ball for the Giants. He has struggled since August 13th, allowing exactly 18 runs in 18 innings during that span, which comes out to be a 9.00 ERA. The Giants will need Vogelsong to log some innings tonight, as their bullpen has been worked relentlessly of late.

Vogelsong's counterpart will be Ian Kennedy. After finishing top five in Cy Young voting just a year ago, he's come crashing back down to earth this season. His ERA checks in at 4.27, backed by his 12-11 record.
