John Brebbia will take the mound Wednesday for the Giants. He is 4-1, with a 2.39 ERA and 1.14 WHIP on the year. Brebbia has made 40 appearances this season but has made only two starts. In both starts, he lasted only one inning, so look for this contest to be a bullpen game for San Francisco.
The Giants' bullpen has been subpar, a drop off from their brilliance from last season. They'll be facing a Diamondbacks team that ranks 20th in runs per game. This Arizona lineup was blanked on Tuesday. Look for them to plate some runners since they will be facing a mix of pitchers for the home side.
Zac Gallen will start Wednesday for the visiting Diamondbacks. He is 4-2, with a 3.62 ERA through 16 starts on the season. Gallen had a great start to the year but has since come back down to earth. Still, he's normally pretty effective and has shown the ability to shut down lineups.

Gallen had trouble with the Colorado Rockies in his last couple starts. He'll need to shake his recent struggles off against a Giants team that's third in the majors in runs per game.
