After a day off, the Giants kick off a six-game road trip tonight. With the exception of the last series, San Francisco has been on a roll, and being the hottest team in their division has gotten them back in the playoff hunt if Arizona and Los Angeles continue to spiral downward. Game one at Cincinnati will start at 4:10 p.m., as well as tomorrow’s game. Barry Zito will deal against Cy Young candidate Edison Volquez. Kevin Correia will start Saturday’s game for the Giants, it is still unknown who will get the start for the Reds, but it is expected that Ramon Ramirez will be called up to fill in for Cincinnati. Matt Cain will pitch the series finale on Sunday, starting at 9:35 a.m. Bronson Arroyo is scheduled to pitch for the Reds. A sweep at Cincinnati is certainly possible, and woud put the Giants in good position to overtake the Rockies for third place in the division as they head to Colorado next. Jonathan Sanchez missed three starts since being put on the disabled list, but will start the first game at Coors Field on Monday against Jorge De La Rosa at 12:05 p.m.
