DENVER – The Giants have one last chance to avoid going winless at Coors Field this season.
Pablo Sandoval, who knows something about empty trips, is not in the lineup Wednesday. He is toting an 0-for-37 streak that matches the franchise record set by Johnnie LeMaster in 1984 and is nine short of Eugenio Velez’s major league mark for a non-pitcher.
But Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Sandoval would get another shot Friday when the club begins an interleague series with the White Sox in Chicago.
Sandoval, who also is just 6 for 87 from the right side over the last three seasons, was going to rest on Wednesday regardless because left-hander Kyle Freeland is starting for the Rockies.
