The San Francisco Giants blow chance to enter weekend series vs. Dodgers tied for first in the NL West after a late collapse vs. the Rockies.

Colorado held a 5-2 lead over the Giants going into the ninth in the series opener on Tuesday at Coors Field. Up to that point, they had timely hitting, got a decent start from Carson Palmquist, and the bullpen had been flawless. Then came the punch line as the Rockies remain on pace to be the worst team in modern baseball history.

Opposing Márquez is Bryce Elder (2-3, 4.08 ERA), making his 11th start of the season. Elder, a ground ball pitcher with excellent offspeed stuff, profiles as a tough matchup for Colorado’s offense, especially on the heels of a one-run, eight-inning masterclass against the San Francisco Giants.

The Giants won their second in a row against the Rockies and seventh in a row overall last night rallying for seven runs in the final two innings to come from behind and knock off the Rockies, 10-7 Wednesday night. Willy Adames went 3-3 at the plate and drove in three runs to pace the attack.

There's no good way to lose a game to the 2025 Colorado Rockies, the team that entered Thursday on pace to break the record for most losses in MLB's modern era

The Colorado Rockies got a win on Thursday and avoided reaching a new low and setting the record for the worst start in the modern era.

Any hope that the San Francisco Giants will get their Gold Glove third baseman back in 10 days is no longer in the cards.

The Giants erased a three-run deficit by scoring four runs in the top of the eighth inning, mounting their second comeback in as many nights.
