Trevor Rogers looks to continue a dominant stretch of starting pitching as the Orioles take on the Giants.

TBA vs. Trevor Rogers.

San Francisco Giants All-Star reliever Randy Rodriguez will have season-ending Tommy John surgery, the team said Saturday. Last weekend, the Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow sprain. “Randy is going to get the surgery,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said before Saturday’s game against Baltimore.

The passing of San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Randy Moffitt tugged at the memories of Giants fans from the 1970s and early 1980s. Moffitt was a solid reliever for the Giants from 1972-81 after a terrific college career at Long Beach State University, where is a member of the school's athletic Hall of Fame.

Vienna is a town of about 17,000 people in high-density Fairfax County, which has a population of just more than 1 million and is just west of the nation's capital. It is about 10 miles from the baseball field at James Madison High in Vienna to the White House in Washington, a city that was without a Major League Baseball team from 1972 until the Nationals came to town in 2005. In the D.C. suburbs, despite the trappings of million-dollar homes and high-powered, highly paid lawyers and lobbyists, a baseball culture exists in Vienna that is equal to or better than some small towns in middle America. “We call it the town of champions,” said Mark Gjormand, who grew up playing Vienna Little League and has been the head varsity baseball coach there at James Madison High for 30 years.

San Francisco Giants reliever Randy Rodriguez has opted to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.

The Giants bombarded four Orioles pitchers for a season-high in runs and hits (18) in a 15-8 romp in the series opener. Every starter had a hit, eight scored runs and six had RBIs as the Giants continued an offensive flurry that has seen them average 7.8 runs and hit a collective .307 with 12 home runs in six straight wins over the Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs and Orioles.

Randy Moffitt, who spent a decade anchoring the San Francisco Giants bullpen and was the younger brother of tennis icon Billie Jean King, died Thursday, Aug. 28, in his hometown of Long Beach, California, after a long illness. A right-hander known for durability and steady relief work, Moffitt pitched 12 Major League seasons from 1972–83. Drafted 18th overall by the Giants in 1970 after starring at Long Beach State, he debuted two years later and went on to appear in 533 of his 534 career games out of the bullpen.

Amid the Giants' blowout win over the Orioles on Friday, Dom Smith crushed Splash Hit #107 into McCovey Cove.

The Giants may not have gotten the start they hoped for from Robbie Ray, but with the way their offense has come alive, it hardly mattered. On Friday night at Oracle Park, San Francisco rolled past the Baltimore Orioles 15-7 for its sixth straight victory, a game defined by loud contact, relentless hitting, and a moment that felt pulled from the Barry Bonds era. In the fifth inning, the veteran first baseman launched a ball deep into McCovey Cove for his first career splash hit — the 107th in the ballpark's history.

Dominic Smith grew up idolizing Barry Bonds. Now, Smith, too, knows the feeling of sending a long ball into the San Francisco Bay. Smith's first Splash Hit — and the 107th in Oracle Park history — was the highlight of a night where the Giants (67-68) outslugged the Baltimore Orioles 15-8 on Friday night and extended their winning streak to six games.

The favored Giants (-147 moneyline odds to win) take the field at home against the Orioles (+123). The Orioles will hand the ball to Trevor Rogers (7-2, 4.92), but the Giants' starter is yet to be determined for this game.

The Cubs bounced back from a three-game sweep in San Francisco with an offensive eruption against the Rockies Friday, as Chicago won 11-7.

Randy Moffitt, a relief pitcher who played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball and was the younger brother of tennis great and equality advocate Billie Jean King, has died after an extended illness. Moffitt died on Thursday in Long Beach, according to a representative of the family. After a high school career at Long Beach Poly and a college career at Long Beach State, Moffitt was drafted 18th overall by the San Francisco Giants in the first round of the 1970 MLB Draft and made his major league debut with the team in 1972.
