In the bottom of the ninth, the Rockies tried to rally, despite Sam Hilliard hitting into a double play to make the come-from-behind attempt with two outs. Goodman smashed his 11th homer of the year to cap off a three-hit night and pull the Rockies within three at 10-7.

The San Francisco Giants blow chance to enter weekend series vs. Dodgers tied for first in the NL West after a late collapse vs. the Rockies.

Colorado held a 5-2 lead over the Giants going into the ninth in the series opener on Tuesday at Coors Field. Up to that point, they had timely hitting, got a decent start from Carson Palmquist, and the bullpen had been flawless. Then came the punch line as the Rockies remain on pace to be the worst team in modern baseball history.

Matt Chapman has already gone to the injured list with a sprained right hand, but the San Francisco Giants third baseman could be out through the rest of the month.

Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.44 ERA, 3.03 FIP, with 87 strikeouts to 31 walks in 77.1 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres last Thursday, in which he allowed two runs on four hits with nine strikeouts and a walk in seven innings.

The Colorado Rockies got a win on Thursday and avoided reaching a new low and setting the record for the worst start in the modern era.

Any hope that the San Francisco Giants will get their Gold Glove third baseman back in 10 days is no longer in the cards.

Antonio Senzatela (1-10, 6.68 ERA) will start for the Rockies. In his last outing, he came out of the bullpen for the first time since April 27, 2018 against the Miami Marlins after the Rockies elected to use Ryan Rolison as an opener.
