Both starters bring serious run-suppression credentials into this one. Randy Vásquez carries a sparkling 1.88 ERA, while Trevor McDonald has kept opposing offenses equally quiet. The numbers back it up — both teams have averaged zero first-inning runs over their last five games each. With two pitchers dealing and cold first-inning bats on both sides, fading early scoring is the play.
NRFI Angle: Padres @ Giants (May 4, 2026)
The numbers strongly favor a quiet first inning in San Francisco. Randy Vásquez takes the mound for San Diego carrying an impressive 1.88 ERA, giving the Padres a legitimate shutdown arm to open the game. On the Giants' side, Trevor McDonald has shown early-inning stability, backed by San Francisco's five-game scoreless-side streak in the first inning. The Padres add further confidence with their own three-game scoreless first-inning run. Combine those individual trends with a combined 12-game first-inning scoreless streak shared between these two clubs, and the foundation for an NRFI play is clearly established. Both pitching staffs and early-inning trends point toward keeping the scoreboard clean through one.
