Tonight at 9:40 p.m. ET, the San Francisco Giants (1-0) and Arizona Diamondbacks (0-3) clash at Chase Field in Arizona for Game 2 of their series. The game can be live streamed here. San Francisco fans can hear all of the action on KNBR 680 while Arizona fans can do the same on Arizona Sports 98.7.
Matt Cain takes the hill in his 2014 debut for the Giants after going a disappointing 8-10 with a 4.00 ERA last season while Wade Miley mans the mound for his second game since suffering a loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Australia after giving up three runs. Miley went 10-10 with a 3.55 ERA in 2013.
Following the loss in Australia on Opening Weekend, Miley played a spring training game last Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. He didn't have a game to remember as he yielded three runs and was slow to cover first base on two occasions.
"That's on me," Miley said of his struggles per MLB.com. "Because in the end it's still a game and you've got to go out there and pitch, and I didn't do that. It was more embarrassing for me. It was hard mentally to throw an Opening Day, a game that means everything, and then five days again you throw a spring training game. That's on me, though. There was no excuse for pitching like that."
D-Backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 22 games dating back to last season on Monday but is still looking for his first homer and RBI in three games after launching 36 homers and knocking in 125 runs in 2013.
The Giants exploded for nine runs in Monday's opener that saw Brandon Belt and Buster Posey each go deep.
The Giants and Diamondbacks continue their series when they take the field tonight at Chase Field in Arizona.
