 The Giants won a road game against Colorado, which is always a cause for celebration, no matter what kind of season they are having.

 The Giants will now try to build on that positive momentum and carry it into Chicago, as they start a three-game series on Friday night against the White Sox.

 Besides having won its last game, more good news for the Giants comes in the fact that the White Sox are reeling at this point. In fact, Chicago is coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians.

 Ironically, the White Sox lost their most recent contest by the same score, 11-2, as the Giants won theirs. They have also lost eight of their last 10 games dating back to Aug. 29.

 Furthermore, Chicago is in the same overall state this season as the Giants. The White Sox are in last place in the AL Central with a 54-85 mark, which puts them 29 ½ games out of first place.

 To keep their trend going, the Giants are going to lean on Matt Moore (4-13), who has this month to show the Giants that he is worthy to be in the starting rotation next season after a very dismal 2017 campaign, by far the worst of his seven-year career.

 However, he has shown some signs of coming out of it. In his last outing, he went two scoreless innings last Sunday against St. Louis, during which he gave up only a hit to go along with a strikeout.

 He will take the hill opposite Chicago righty Lucas Giolito (2-1), who has won his last two starts and has surrendered only a run on six hits combined in the process. He has also walked only four and struck out 14 batters, including a 10-strikeout outing against Tampa Bay in his last outing on Sept. 3.
