After a brutal start to their road trip, the San Francisco Giants are desperate for a win today against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Giants have dropped the first four games of this six-game swing, and the losses have been particularly painful: two were shutouts, and two more came via walk-offs after blowing ninth-inning leads. It’s a tough stretch for a team that needs to find its footing fast.

Taking the mound for the Giants is right-hander Landen Roupp, who has been nothing short of a revelation this season. Through six starts, Roupp is 5-1 with a stellar 2.55 ERA and a 2.77 FIP, striking out 37 batters while walking 14 over 35.1 innings. He’s arguably been the team’s best pitcher—and maybe even its best player—through the first month. In his last outing against the Miami Marlins, he went 7.2 innings, allowing three earned runs. If anyone can stop the bleeding, it’s Roupp.

The Rays are countering with a bit of a creative approach, using right-handed reliever Griffin Jax as an opener. Jax has struggled this season, posting a 6.35 ERA and a 6.58 FIP over 12 appearances, with 12 strikeouts and eight walks in 11.1 innings. However, he’s reportedly transitioning into a starting role, and his last outing—a season-high 2.1 innings—marked his first start of the year. Expect the bulk of the innings to come from righty Jesse Scholtens, who has been solid in a relief role, going 2-1 with a 3.20 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 19.2 innings.

Game details: San Francisco Giants (13-19) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (19-12) at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. First pitch is this afternoon, and Giants fans are hoping Roupp can deliver a much-needed turnaround.
