Series: Game 1 of 3 — NL West Matchup
The Giants and Rockies meet in Denver with both clubs trying to escape the bottom of the NL West. San Francisco sends ace Logan Webb, who has been excellent despite poor run support, while Colorado counters with veteran right‑hander Michael Lorenzen, who has struggled with consistency in 2026. This matchup features Webb’s elite ground‑ball profile against Coors Field’s extreme offensive environment, while the Rockies hope their home‑field altitude advantage can neutralize San Francisco’s pitching edge.

Pitch Mix: Sinker, slider, changeup
Strengths: Elite ground‑ball rate; excellent command; durable
Weakness: Coors Field reduces sinker movement; vulnerable to bloop hits
