Hayden Birdsong Starting Second Game Of Doubleheader On Saturday
5 months agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Hayden Birdsong is set to toe the mound in the second game of the Giants' doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night. Birdsong had a phenomenal start against the Rockies at Coors Field just six days ago, striking out 12 and giving up just two hits in six innings. Most impressive was Birdsong's 27 swinging strikes after accumulating 37 swinging strikes total in his prior four starts. Fantasy managers may not see the same 12 K performance out of the rookie tonight, but he should still excel against a Rockies lineup that has been one of the least effective road offenses in baseball. Be sure to have him starting in your lineup to capitalize on a favorable matchup.
