Spencer Bivens - Opening Sunday's gameBivens will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sudnay's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ImpactSunday will mark Biven's second major-league start of his career. His first start was June 30 against the Dodgers, when he threw five innings and allowed one run on four hits while striking out three in a no decision. It's unlikely he will last as long in his upcoming start than he did in his last, and Tristan Beck and Landen Roupp are candidates to work multiple innings in relief behind Bivens. Across 19 major-league outings this season, Bivens has a 2.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 34.2 innings.
