The San Francisco Giants have come out of the All-Star break strong and at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Giants, chasing the National League West top spot, will go for a three-game series sweep Sunday after 6-4 and 3-1 wins in Pittsburgh.
"We were fortunate that we had the four days ," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. "I think we want to make sure we try to get out as much as possible. That's the most important thing. Hopefully, we can get him off on Sunday and get him back out there." Although it turned out he would have had to miss the All-Star Game, McCutchen thought he earned a spot there.
"He's earned it," Giants manager Gabe Kapler said of Wood, who has come out of the bullpen in four of his 13 appearances despite making it known he would rather start full time.
