The San Francisco Giants are set to face the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday, August 21, 2026, marking the end of the Giants' road trip. This interleague series opener features a marquee pitching duel between Boston's Cy Young candidate Sonny Gray and San Francisco's ace Logan Webb.
Gray has been a standout for the Red Sox, boasting a 15-3 record with a 2.65 ERA. Webb, the Giants' clear No. 1 starter, holds an 8-7 record with a 3.50 ERA, though he exited his last outing early due to tightness. His availability is a key factor for San Francisco.
