The Giants are the last team to beat the Rockies and that was back on May 8th. That's right, the Rockies have won 7 straight games since then and they have not done it against bad teams. They swept the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers and then swept the San Diego Padres. Those are two very talented teams that the Rockies took down.

The Giants are coming off a series loss against the Dodgers. They won Wednesday's contest to avoid a sweep behind Logan Webb's strong start. They are still banged up and struggling to score runs, but they have found ways to win games as of late, going 5-5 in their last 10 games.

What is the starting pitching matchup?

The Giants are going to send rookie Mason Black to the mound tonight. He has an 0-1 record and a 6.23 ERA in 2 starts. His last start with the Reds was a solid one. He pitched 4 and 1/3 innings and only gave up 1 earned run against the Reds. It was not masterful, but he gave the Giants a chance to win which they did. He will look to build on that in his first start at the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field.

The Rockies will send out right-hander Ryan Feltner who has a record of 1-3 and an ERA of 5.20. The Giants do not have much notable history against Feltner. Mike Yastrzemski has the most at-bats against him with 6 and no hits, Wilmer Flores has 1 hit in 4 at-bats, and both Thairo Estrada and LaMonte Wade Jr. are hitless in 3 at-bats.

What are the lineups?

Here are the lineups for both teams.
