The Giants come into this game on a six game winning streak with their pitching staff full of confidence after shutting out the Dodgers over a three game series sweep. In comes Ryan Vogelsong for San Francisco to try and extend the scoreless innings streak. He has been ultra-sharp in his last three with a 2-0 record and 1.37 ERA but he has struggled mightily in Colorado and while he is coming off his best road outing of the season, he carries into this game a 10.06 road ERA. Kyle Kendricks has been on his game of late with back-to-back Q starts allowing a total of three runs in 14 innings pitched. He has good numbers against the Giants with the current roster hitting a lifetime .230 against him with 9 extra base hits in 122 plate appearances.
