The San Francisco Giants scored a win in their first game back from the All-Star break, and they also appear to have withstood a few injury scares.
After the Giants recorded a 6-4 win over the host Pittsburgh Pirates to open a three-game series on Friday, San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler wasn't sure of the status of two of his outfielders going into the Saturday evening matchup.
Pittsburgh fell to 2-8 this month and needs to win on Saturday to have a chance at avoiding a fourth straight series loss. In the middle game of the series, San Francisco right-hander Alex Cobb and Pittsburgh right-hander Johan Oviedo are scheduled to start. If things go well on Saturday, perhaps Cobb will be allowed to pitch deeper into the game. He was on the injured list in June because of an oblique strain, and Kapler said Cobb's pitch count, 88, in his second game back contributed to him being pulled after six.
Oviedo, meanwhile, has lost his past seven decisions, and he took defeats in each of his past six starts.
