The Giants would much rather forget about the dreadful series that they recently concluded against the Mets, in which they were swept.

BOTTOM LINE: The San Francisco Giants aim to end their five-game home slide with a win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. San Francisco has a 54-52 record overall and a 28-23 record in home games. The Giants have the sixth-best team ERA in baseball at 3.67.

While it only lasted one inning, local left-hander Matt Gage made good use of his first career MLB start on the mound.

The Pittsburgh Pirates get an opportunity to continue their run of spoiling other teams' postseason hopes when they open a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

For Matt Chapman, it shouldn't even be a question which direction the Giants should take heading into the trade deadline.
