After last night’s pounding of the Colorado Rockies, 12-0, the San Francisco Giants find themselves in the top spot in the National League West. The Giants and Rockies will meet again tonight at Oracle Park, a place where Colorado has had trouble winning games. The Rockies have lost 4 straight in San Francisco and are winless on the road at 0-7. San Francisco has won 7 of their last 10 and are an impressive 9-2 this year at Oracle Park. The Giants will turn to Aaron Sanchez to continue their dominance over the Rockies and he has been delivering. Sanchez is 1-1, with a 1.83 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP, and in his last outing he pitched 5 scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins, resulting in a 3-0 Giants victory. Chi Chi González is the expected starter for the Rockies. González has pitched well, with a record of 1-0, an ERA of 3.00 and a 1.47 WHIP, but in his 15 innings of work he has walked 7 batters with just 8 Ks and has an OBP of .349.
