After a tough start to the week against the Detroit Tigers, the San Francisco Giants bounced back nicely to win a road series against the Miami Marlins, wrapping up a lengthy nine-game road trip. With the Giants now heading into June, as their record indicates, they have been one of the best teams in the National League so far in 2025. This is a bit of a surprise when looking at the roster and how the team performed last year, but the unit has responded well to the change of culture led by the new president of baseball operations Buster Posey. San Francisco has been built on good pitching and defense, but their lineup has also shown some timely hitting with a couple of surprise players performing well.

One day after the San Francisco Giants sent a message that offensive help could soon be on the way, the San Diego Padres hope their own prospect can contribute again as they go for a third straight road win on Wednesday night.

Coming close to duplicating Logan Webb's eight shutout innings in a 1-0, 10-inning defeat in the series opener, Landen Roupp shut out the Padres for 6 1/3 innings in the loss on Tuesday.

The next step, naturally, is the majors — a step Eldridge could conceivably take this year. “I think all of these decisions and conversations are fluid,” said president of baseball operations Buster Posey.

Although Logan Webb has been the ace of the staff for the past several years, he has got a great sidekick at the top of the rotation in Robbie Ray this campaign.
