Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Díaz, front, turns to apply a late tag on San Francisco Giants’ Matt Chapman, who scored on a bunt by Nick Ahmed during the second inning of a baseball game Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Denver. A second straight victory in Colorado has the Giants on the brink of sweeping their first series of the season.
This marked only the fourth time this season the Giants have won back-to-back games. Thursday’s 12:10 p.m. PT start pits the Giants’ Keaton Winn against Cal Quantrill . Colorado fell to a MLB-worst 8-28 with its ninth loss in the past 10 games; the Rockies have been swept in four previous series this season. The Giants return to Oracle Park on Friday night for a nine-game homestand, with three-game sets against the Cincinnati Reds, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Rockies again.
Ramos’ opposite-field, RBI single scored Chapman for a 2-0 lead. Showing off the hitting prowess that had him batting .296 with eight home runs and 21 RBI in Sacramento, Ramos fell behind 0-2 in his initial at-bat in Colorado, then he fouled off a 1-2 fastball before lining a 94.2-mph sinker to right field.
“This is his first time starting here, so the breaking balls are always, kind of, see how it goes when you’re here and if you have to make any adjustments with it,” Melvin said. “So, yeah, maybe not his best command. He threw a lot of pitches , but at the end of the day, he gives us five solid innings and gets the win.”
