One last homestand in the San Francisco Giants can call it a season. But not before they celebrate one of their franchise's broadcasting legends.

The Giants (64-92) will host the Minnesota Twins (73-83) for a three-game series that begins on Monday at Oracle Park. After an off day on Thursday, the Giants will host their final series of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

During that series, fans and the organization will celebrate the broadcasting career of Mike Krukow, who announced his retirement from the broadcast booth earlier this year.

His longtime broadcasting partner, Duane Kuiper, is intent on being there. He announced on Sunday that he's fighting throat cancer. He will miss broadcasting Tuesday's game for treatment, but he'll be in the booth this weekend along with his partner to celebrate his retirement.

Given how poorly the season has turned out for the Giants, celebrating Krukow’s career is the centerpiece of the week. San Francisco put a few more players on the injured list this weekend and it would be easier to tell you who's healthy than who's not.

As for the Twins, they will see their playoff hopes extinguished in the next day or two as they have fallen out of the AL wild card race.

Here is a preview of the series, with the pitching probables and the injured list.
