Giants take 5-game losing streak into matchup with the Rockies
The Giants have dropped five straight and face a Rockies team that is 3-7 over its last 10 games, with both clubs near the NL West cellar.
Seeking to end a five-game losing streak, the San Francisco Giants face the Colorado Rockies in Denver today at 3:10 p.m. EDT.
The previous night's 8-3 loss at Coors Field marked the Giants' fifth straight defeat, dropping the club to 22-36 and matching franchise history from 1972, 1984, and 1985.
Left-Hander Robbie Ray takes the mound for San Francisco against Rockies right-hander Tanner Gordon , as the team remains on pace for 101 losses.
Losses against divisional opponents have reached 10 straight, prompting Manager Tony Vitello to tell reporters the Giants need to "bounce back" from the previous night's struggles.
Both rosters continue navigating extensive injuries, including multiple players on the 10-Day and 60-Day injured lists, while Rockies hitters rank 10th in the NL with 54 total home runs.
