The San Francisco Giants lose the series opener to the Colorado Rockies despite Logan Webb taking the mound. Multiple reports describe Webb’s outing as one of his toughest of the season, with the Rockies producing enough offense to pull ahead and ultimately route the Giants. The game is played in Denver, at roughly one mile above sea level, a factor noted by several outlets. One earlier appearance referenced in the coverage is a prior start in which Webb had left due to a pitch restriction, but this time he does not avoid trouble on the mound. Yahoo Sports also adds that the Giants’ momentum fades as Webb and the rest of the pitching staff struggle against Colorado’s attack. The reports present a consistent theme: the Giants continue a difficult stretch, and the Rockies capitalize early in the matchup to win the opener. Overall, the coverage focuses on Webb’s difficult start, the pitching problems for San Francisco, and Colorado’s ability to score and control the game en route to the lopsided result.
