Greinke-Bumgarner clash leads MLB.TV slate

Zack Greinke is no longer with the Dodgers, but in a way, he still will be following Clayton Kershaw when he takes the mound tonight at AT&T Park.

Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner’s more recent outing came against Kershaw and the Dodgers last Friday in Los Angeles, a game San Francisco dropped, 7-3. This time Bumgarner matches up against Greinke, who this offseason spurned both the Dodgers and the Giants to sign a six-year deal with the D-backs.

“He just seemed to be on his game,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said after Sale spun a shutout at Tampa Bay last Friday. “I think throwing strikes early in counts, too — you get a guy like him, and you can kind of see the strategy of getting after it early. … Just a great job by him.”

The Halos will counter with Garrett Richards, who earned a hard-luck no-decision in his last start against the Twins after leaving with a 4-2 lead through six innings. Richards began last season with a 9-5 record, but is just 6-8 since the 2015 All-Star …
