Giants pitcher seeks to avoid franchise record for consecutive losses

A right-hander for the home team will try to prevent a franchise record when the club hosts Toronto on Monday night at 9:45 p.m. ET. The pitcher has started each of the team's last 11 games without a win. The 27-year-old improved to 5-1 with a 2.55 ERA after an April 26 victory. Since then he is 0-7 with a 5.87 ERA and 1.68 WHIP.

Recent performance The most recent outing came last Tuesday in Arizona, where the starter allowed six runs and five hits while walking six. That loss extended the team's streak in his starts to 11. The only comparable stretch in franchise history occurred during the final 11 outings of the 1984 season by a different pitcher, who finished that year 5-17.

Monday matchup The visiting club enters the series scoreless across its past 24 innings. Its starter is 4-7 with a 4.19 ERA this season and holds a 5.30 ERA on the road. Two home-team hitters have combined for strong results against the opposing starter in prior meetings, including 20 total hits with multiple extra-base hits.
