But it hasn’t been a case of a few blowups tainting his line — Whisenhunt has been consistently poor in those outings. His last start, in which he gave up five hits and a run in 3.2 innings, is comfortably his best showing during that time.

The SF Giants called up their top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt and he will start Monday night's game. This start could end up being an audition for other teams if the Giants try to trade Whisenhunt ahead of the July 31st trade deadline.
