Colorado Form & Recent Results

Colorado heads into this matchup feeling a little better after snapping their recent skid with a win, but the bigger picture shows they’ve been struggling. Before beating San Francisco on Saturday, the Rockies had lost four of their previous five games, so consistency has been hard to come by. Their offense did most of the heavy lifting in the 8–6 victory at home on Friday, when shortstop Ezequiel Tovar had a huge night at the plate. Tovar finished 2-for-4 and made both hits count, blasting two home runs while also scoring three times and driving in four runs. The lineup as a whole was productive and aggressive, piling up 13 hits, three long balls, and 25 total bases, which is the kind of extra-base power they’ve needed to show more often.

On the pitching side, it was a shakier story even in a win. Starter Michael Lorenzen lasted just 3 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and three earned runs while also issuing two walks and striking out two. That performance fits a larger trend for Colorado lately, because over their last five games they’ve been giving up 7.8 runs per game on average, and run prevention has been a major problem all season. Offensively, the Rockies have a few clear leaders: catcher Hunter Goodman tops the team with 13 home runs, while left fielder Mickey Moniak sits right behind him with 12. Moniak has also been their most productive run producer, leading the club with 28 RBI. Meanwhile, right fielder Troy Johnston has been their steadiest pure hitter, leading the team with a .310 batting average. After riding the energy of that three-homer win over the Giants, Colorado will try to carry that same momentum into Sunday afternoon and pair another strong offensive showing with cleaner pitching.

San Francisco Form & Recent Results

San Francisco comes into this matchup in a rough stretch, riding a four-game skid and losing four of their last five overall heading into Friday’s meeting with the Rockies. That game in Colorado turned into an 8–6 defeat, and even though the Giants had chances to swing the result, they couldn’t cash in often enough. Rafael Devers did his part at the plate, going 2-for-4 while scoring a run and driving one in, but the lineup as a whole couldn’t fully capitalize on its opportunities. A big reason the loss stung was how many runners the Giants stranded, as ten men were left on base, which is the kind of missed production that can haunt a team in a high-scoring park like Coors Field.

From an offensive standpoint, Casey Schmitt has been the Giants’ most consistent power threat, leading the team with 12 home runs while also pacing the club in run production with 31 RBIs. Devers and Willy Adames have been the next best long-ball options, sitting tied for second with seven homers each so far. When it comes to steady contact and getting on base, Luis Arraez has been their top pure hitter, carrying a strong .329 batting average on the season. The bigger concern lately has been run prevention: over their last five games, San Francisco has been giving up 5.8 runs per game on average. With that recent defensive and pitching trend, and with Friday’s missed chances still fresh, they’ll be looking to respond with a stronger all-around performance on Sunday at Coors Field.

Key Stats

  • San Francisco’s Casey Schmitt this season: 12 HRs, 31 RBI, .289 AVG
