The Giants have won four of five since the last time they faced the Dodgers, and they'll look to continue their recent strong play when they open up a four-game series with their longtime rivals in Los Angeles on Monday night.
San Francisco saw its four-game winning streak come to an end with a 5-3 loss to the Brewers on Sunday, finishing just short of a second consecutive series sweep. While the Giants are still well outside the playoff picture, they've played the Dodgers tough so far this season, having won four of the nine games between them.
Tyler Beede (0-2, 8.06 ERA) will take the mound for San Francisco, in his first-ever start against the Dodgers. Beede is still looking for his first career Major League victory, but impressed at times in his most recent start in which he struck out seven over 4 2/3 innings.
