Suarez set for first start against Mets

Following Thursday's scheduled off-day, the Giants will continue their homestand with a three-game weekend series against the New York Mets that starts with a 7:15 p.m. PT encounter Friday. The Giants will give the ball to left-hander Andrew Suarez, who threw a career-high 106 pitches while blanking Texas for seven innings last Saturday. This will be the rookie's first career start against the Mets, who will counter with Zack Wheeler, the Giants' No. 1 Draft pick in 2009.
