Gage will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sunday's matchup against the Mets, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Gage will begin what's slated to be a bullpen game for the Giants, with righty Carson Seymour likely to handle multiple innings once the left-hander exits the contest. Though Gage will be making his first MLB start, he's unlikely to cover more than an inning or two. Gage has yet to give up a run through nine appearances across stints with the Tigers and Giants this season, and he's posted a 7:3 K:BB over 9.2 frames.

Tigers' Matt Gage: Extends scoreless streak
Rotowire
Gage, who tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's win over the Athletics, has now made five straight scoreless appearances since debuting with the Tigers.
Gage has allowed five hits and two walks in his 5.1 total innings of work so far, but he's yet to allow any runs. It's a small sample, though the lefty was also pitching well for Triple-A Toledo, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 32.1 innings with the Mud Hens earlier in the year. Gage could eventually see more high-leverage work out of the Detroit bullpen if he keeps up this level of performance.
