San Francisco Giants podcast Michael Villanueva:

#1 The Colorado Rockies finally snapped out of their five game losing streak with a 8-7 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field in Denver. The Rockies were just happy they were able to win a game after such a long drought.

#2 The Giants had the lead 7-5 until the bottom of the ninth when the Rockies Orlando Arcia belted a two run single and the timing couldn’t have come at a better time with two outs and facing another loss. The loss for the Giants snaps their seven game win streak.

#3 The Rockies Sam Hilliard in the ninth walked with one out, Giants reliever Randy Rodriguez faced Thairo Estrada who hit a double to left and the Rockies had runners on second and third. Rodriguez went onto walk Ryan McMahon to load the bases. The Rockies Brenton Doyle then hit a double play ball that was bobbled by the Giants Casey Scmitt and that allowed a runner to score making 7-6.

#4 With the bases loaded for the Rockies pinch hitter Hunter Goodman struck out and Arcia got the game winner on a 3-2 pitch a two run base hit to end it. The Rockies 13-55 start tied the 1932 Boston Red Sox for the worst start in the modern era which ended with the win on Thursday.

#5 Giants open up a three game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday night. The Giants will start RHP Logan Webb (5-5 ERA 2.58) he’ll be opposed by the Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4 ERA 2.20) at Dodger Stadium.

#6 Downtown Los Angeles had been under a curfew due to huge protests with the presence the National Guard, Marines and ICE arrests on Los Angeles citizens suspected of being illegal immigrants. The curfew was lifted as of Wed Jun 11, 2025. The curfew was between 8:00pm to 6:00am. There was concern how fans were going to come and go from the ballpark with the curfew in effect. Now that it’s no longer in effect.
