Today at 4:35 p.m. ET, the Colorado Rockies (4-2) and San Francisco Giants (3-4) take the field for the first meeting in a three-game set live from AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Colorado embarks on a six-game road trip while San Francisco returns home for the first time since winning the World Series and will remain at AT&T Park for the next 10 contests.
The Rockies opened up the season with four straight wins, but fell to the Chicago Cubs in back-to-back games to lose their weekend three-match set. The Giants have dropped three straight games after defeating the San Diego Padres to open their four-game series on Friday.
Eddie Butler (0-0, 3.18 ERA) toes the rubber for Colorado in his fifth-career start while San Francisco counters with rookie Chris Heston, who is also 0-0 along with no ERA after his first-career start.
