The San Francisco Giants will be glad to get back home after losing their last three games to the Colorado Rockies. Tonight they will open a 4-game set at AT&T Park against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Giants are expected to send Johnny Cueto to the hill, who missed all of May and June due to an elbow issue. Prior to going on the DL, Cueto was delivering, with a record of 3-0, a nasty 0.84 ERA, and a WHIP of just 0.69. The Cardinals are expected to counter with Luke Weaver. Weaver has been awful. He is 4-7, with a 5.16 ERA, and a 1.45 WHIP. Over his last 3 turns, Weaver is 1-1, with a bloated 8.22 ERA, a 1.89 WHIP, and he was throttled in his last turn on Saturday by Atlanta, allowing 8 runs on 10 hits in just 4-2/3 innings of work. San Francisco is tough at home, with a record of 26-14, and they are 7-1 at AT&T in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. The Giants bats have been silent but they should be able to get to Weaver tonight.
