It turned out to be a walk in the (Oracle) Park for San Francisco in its three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies over the weekend.

The Giants completed the sweep on Sunday with a 4-0 win, handing the Rockies their first shutout loss of 2021 and dropping the team’s record to 3-7.

Seeing its first road action of the campaign, Colorado Rockies pitchers issued 18 free passes in the series and San Francisco obligingly took advantage of the Rox generosity.
