- Analysis
- The Arizona Diamondbacks will face the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The divisional matchup begins with both teams hoping to recover from their recent tough stretches.
After losing three games to the Minnesota Twins the Giants offense failed to produce runs. Manager Bob Melvin changed multiple players to try to improve the lineup's results. Due to his current slump with a .145 batting average and .491 OPS LaMonte Wade Jr. will rest to take a mental break. The Giants have moved Wilmer Flores to first base where he will hit fifth in the order. Manager Bob Melvin moved Willy Adames from the second batting position to the sixth spot to improve his run production. Matt Chapman now bats second while Heliot Ramos follows in the third position and Jung Hoo Lee takes on the cleanup role. Ramos has been performing well hitting at a .500 average with two home runs and seven RBIs during his latest road trip.
The Diamondbacks have recently encountered difficulties because their bullpen has failed to finish games successfully. The team's offensive performance has fluctuated as key contributors Ketel Marte and Christian Walker must improve their run production. The team anticipates that playing against the struggling Giants will help them regain their winning momentum.
Right-handed pitcher Brandon Pfaadt is projected to start for the Diamondbacks on the mound despite showing potential and inconsistency during the season. As a dependable Giants starter Merrill Kelly takes the mound the team continues to face obstacles.
This early-season matchup presents an opportunity for both teams to establish their performance baseline. The Giants have modified their lineup to boost their struggling offense. I look for the Giants to get back to winning here on Tuesday as Melvin is an excellent coach and will make the right moves.
