Giants' Ty Blach: Named Sunday's starter
Blach will start Sunday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.
Analysis:
With Johnny Cueto (groin) unable to go, Blach will step in for his first career start at the major league level. He's fared well in two appearances out of the bullpen so far, tossing six scoreless frames with just one hit allowed, albeit with only one strikeout. The 25-year-old Blach averaged just over six strikeouts per nine innings with Triple-A Sacramento before he was promoted to the bigs.
