On the Giants podcast with Marko:
#1 The San Francisco Giants who dropped the first three games of this series to the Colorado Rockies including a Saturday day-night doubleheader, came away with a one run 11-10 win over the Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday.
#2 The Giants had a nine run lead but saw the Rockies try and play catch up as Colorado scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth and four runs in the bottom of the ninth and the Giants hung on for a one run win.
#3 The Giants had a hitting clinic going in the top of the sixth scoring eight runs and ten hits. Joc Pederson and Thairo Estrada hit home runs in the sixth to contribute to the Giants nine run lead.
#4 The Giants had such high hopes for pitcher Kyle Harrison who came on the scene with an outstanding first game against the Philadelphia Phillies striking out five hitters in his next game Harrison struck out 11 batters. Harrison later got touched up for hits and runs in his next games and was demoted to triple A Sacramento. Harrison had a 5.18 ERA and must stay 15 days in the minors before he can called up again meaning he won’t be back in San Francisco for the rest of the season.
#5 The Giants are off Monday and have a two game series Tuesday and Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Arizona. Pitchers for San Francisco TBA and Arizona Zac Gallen (11-8 ERA 3.50) first pitch at 6:40pm PT
