The Giants lost 7-4 to a bad Rockies team that is further behind San Francisco in the standings than the Giants are behind the Padres for the third Wild-Card spot in the National League. San Francisco should have more to play for than the Rockies. With a huge hole to dig themselves out of and a brutal close to their schedule, the Giants cannot afford to lose any of the few remaining games they have against bad teams. But here we are.
Sometimes a team just does not have it. Rockies starter José Ureña has had a difficult season in Colorado, doing his best to survive the pitcher-killer conditions that define Coors Field.
