SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants are wearing pink accented jerseys for Mother’s Day as they try to take three of four from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
Buster Posey is starting one day after he caught all 13 innings in Saturday’s walk-off victory. Posey will rest and Trevor Brown will catch Jake Peavy on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Posey “only” caught 181 pitches in Saturday’s long game – an average of 14 pitches per inning. Compare that to the rough series opener Thursday, when Posey had caught 124 pitches by the fifth inning.
