A ninth inning rally against erstwhile Rockie Jake McGee fell just short on Friday night, with the Colorado Rockies losing 5-4 to the MLB-leading San Francisco Giants. However, the signs of life from the offense late in the game were encouraging. The Rockies can stave off a series loss with a victory today, and they’ll rely on Connor Joe, CJ Cron, and the pitching staff to do it.
Starting for the Rockies is Kyle Freeland, making his third start in the month of August and looking to recapture the magic he showed off in July.
