The San Francisco Giants' bullpen fell apart in the late going, and Justin Verlander still does not have a win in his now not-so-new uniform. Tyler Rogers, who had allowed only one run in 16 games this season, gave up two in the top of the eighth inning, putting the Giants in a hole they couldn't escape in a 4-3 loss to the MLB-worst Colorado Rockies on Thursday at Oracle Park. Rogers allowed three hits in the eighth inning, including a single to Hunter Goodman that scored Jordan Beck and gave the Rockies a one-run lead.

Hunter Goodman singled in Jordan Beck with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as the visiting Colorado Rockies rallied for a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the opener of their four-game series on Thursday night. Ryan McMahon homered and Brenton Doyle and Alan Trejo each had two hits for Colorado, which won back-to-back games for the first time this season.

The San Francisco Giants expect Tyler Fitzgerald to be out for at least two weeks after the infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured rib. SF Giants swept by Padres in first showdown against NL West rival Fitzgerald sustained the injury on April 25 when, playing second base, he tried to stop a ground ball hit into right field by Joc Pederson during the Giants' April 25 home game against the Texas Rangers. Fitzgerald thought it was a bone bruise and missed the next two games. “I tried to play through it, and it just kind of feels like you're getting stabbed on every little movement,” Fitzgerald said.

The San Francisco Giants lost another game on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies that Justin Verlander put them in position to win.

The San Francisco Giants are coming off a short two-game series against the San Diego Padres, where they lost both contests. SF will now begin a four-game series vs the Colorado Rockies. Ahead of Thursday night's game against Colorado, the Giants placed infielder Tyler Fitzgerald on the 10-day IL with a rib fracture. A major reason why Bob Melvin's squad is performing well is because they have been healthy.

San Francisco Giants general manager Zack Minasian has been impressed with the seasons Kyle Harrison and Carson Whisenhunt have had thus far in Triple-A Sacramento. If both pitchers keep it up, they could force the Giants' front office into making a tough decision about bringing them to the big leagues. Minasian would like nothing more.

The San Francisco Giants' strength over the first month of the 2025 MLB season has been their pitching staff. To remain in the mix for a playoff spot the offense has some things to figure out, such as their power outage at Oracle Park. Anchoring that starting rotation is Logan Webb, one of the most reliable aces in baseball. A true workhorse, he has made at least 32 starts in four consecutive years coming into 2025.

On paper, the Giants look like the better team. So why does this four-game series feel like a trap?

Managers and players will spend the entire season spouting the same cliches ahead of their matchups with the Colorado Rockies. Everyone will say all the right things, but the reality in this division is that it's mandatory to win every series against the last-place Colorado Rockies, and it might be borderline necessary to sweep them. The Giants are back home for four against the Rockies, who have just five wins in their first 30 games. Colorado has been swept five times already, including by both the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, with the latter being a string of three straight shutouts at Petco Park earlier this month.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner, just 38 victories shy of joining the 300-win club, will make his seventh start of the 2025 season on Thursday night when the Giants open a four-game series with the visiting Colorado Rockies. The 42-year-old Verlander (0-2, 4.99 ERA), who signed a one-year, $15 million free-agent contract with San Francisco following an injury-plagued 5-6 campaign with the Houston Astros, has pitched well enough to win his past two starts.
