One Night Only: Game Previews for July 28th

July 28, 2011

Help FanGraphs help you help yourself.

Featured Game
Arizona (9) at San Diego (3) | 15:35
• Carlos Beltran will likely be making his Giant debut tonight (19:05), but watching that game would also entail watching a lot of Kyle Kendrick.
• Meanwhile, here, we have Daniel Hudson (8) and Mat Latos (7) — and a Diamondbacks team that’s very much in the NL West race (3.0 games back at game time).
• One player you might see is Collin Cowgill, who did this at Triple-A Reno: 456 PA, .354/.430/.554 (.397 BABIP), 11.2% BB, 13.8% K, 30-for-33 SB.
• That’s a 115 wOBA+ (i.e. park-adjusted wOBA, relative to league average), per StatCorner.

Watch: MLB.com. (The game appears to be unavailable locally in both markets.)
