The San Francisco Giants are set to face off against the Colorado Rockies as Hayden Birdsong takes the mound against Ryan Feltner in Denver. Birdsong, a rookie pitcher, has been called up to the majors due to injuries in the Giants’ rotation. Despite his limited experience, he has shown promise in his few starts, impressing manager Bob Melvin with his performance.
On the other hand, Feltner is looking to end a three-month winless streak, hoping to secure a victory after a tough outing against the New York Mets. He has struggled against the Giants in the past, with a 0-2 record and a high ERA in his previous starts against them.
While the focus of the baseball world will be on Todd Helton’s Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown, the Rockies have a chance to sweep the series against the struggling Giants. With Birdsong aiming to prove himself in the majors and Feltner looking to break his winless streak, Sunday’s game promises to be an exciting matchup between the two teams.
Injuries have plagued both teams this season, with catcher Elias Diaz likely to be absent from the Rockies’ lineup due to a calf strain. Despite the challenges they face, both Birdsong and Feltner will be looking to lead their teams to victory in this crucial game. Stay tuned for an action-packed showdown between the Giants and the Rockies as they battle it out on the field.
