Giants surrender 13-7 to Rockies after issuing ten walks
San Francisco’s pitchers handed the Colorado Rockies ten bases on balls, fueling a 13-7 defeat in the final game of the homestand.
In the closing matchup of their road swing, the San Francisco Giants were outmatched by the Colorado Rockies, surrendering 13 runs after issuing ten walks. The lack of command resulted in eight runs scoring on the walks alone, plus a run that came from a batter hit on an 0-2 pitch and another that scored on a wild pitch. Rafael Devers contributed a three-run splash hit for the Giants, but the offensive output could not offset the defensive miscues.
Manager Tony Vitello reiterated the need for cleaner baseball, citing the walks as a recurring issue throughout the season. The loss dropped the Giants to 10-18 since the All-Star break and ended their homestand without a win.
Why it matters
The game highlights the Giants' ongoing control problems, a key factor in their recent losing streak.
