Colorado could use all the help it can get as it tries to get back into the win column. The Rockies have only won two of their last 10 games, with the last victory being a 10-4 slaughter of the visiting Kansas City Royals last weekend.
Part of the Rockies' recent woes has been their ongoing struggles against the Giants. Colorado has faced San Francisco five times over that 10-game stretch and has dropped every game by large numbers. The Rockies' losing streak against the Giants stretches 12 games dating back to August 2021, which is the Orange and Black's longest winning streak against any team in almost a century.
The Giants won 10-7. They have won 12 straight against the Rockies, including eight straight at Coors Field. The 12-game winning streak is their longest against one opponent since they beat the Phillies 12 straight times in 1945-46.
