Giants vs. Brewers lineups: Brandon Belt leading off, in left field

Share

Coming off a thrilling extra-inning victory, the Giants will look to keep the good times rolling when they take on the Brewers at Miller Park on Saturday.

Buster Posey's grand slam in the top of the 10th inning provided the decisive blow in San Francisco's 10-7 win in the series opener Friday night. It marked the fourth time in the last eight games that the Giants have scored at least 10 runs. They've gone 7-1 and outscored their opponents 63-30 over that span.

The Giants will put their best foot forward Saturday, as Madison Bumgarner (5-7, 4.03 ERA) takes the hill against the Brewers. The left-hander departed his last start in the third inning after being hit by a line drive, but avoided any serious injury. He's 2-0 in his last three starts, and there's a chance Saturday's could be his last in a Giants uniform.

Milwaukee will start Zach Davies (7-2, 3.07 ERA), who has never beaten San Francisco in his career. He suffered his first loss of the season in a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Giants on June 14 and hasn't won since, going 0-2 in his last five starts while posting a 5.32 ERA.
