Rockies Face Giants, Look to End Five-Game Losing Streak

DENVER, CO — The Colorado Rockies are eager to break a five-game losing streak this afternoon as they host the San Francisco Giants. After succumbing to two bullpen failures in recent days, the Rockies have fallen to a disappointing record of 12-53.

Starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (1-10, 6.68 ERA) takes the mound for the Rockies. In his last outing, he delivered four scoreless innings in a 4-2 loss against the New York Mets. Senzatela has faced the Giants 14 times in his career, with a 5-3 record and a 4.52 ERA against them.

His opponent, Hayden Birdsong (3-1, 2.55 ERA), is in his second season with the Giants and is making his fifth start of the year. Birdsong performed well in his debut against the Rockies on May 2, throwing two scoreless innings in a game that resulted in a 4-0 victory for San Francisco.

The Rockies aim to avoid their 12th sweep of the season and hope to secure their 13th win of the year. The pressure is on, especially with the deadline for potential trades approaching in August. The Rockies are considering options to strengthen their roster.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. MDT, airing on Rockies.tv and KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM.
