Justin Verlander vs. Kyle Freeland
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Colorado Rockies to Oracle Park tonight to kick off a four-game series.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Jason Verlander, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.99 ERA, 4.12 FIP, with 28 strikeouts to 12 walks in 30.2 innings pitched over six starts. Verlander’s last start was in the Giants’ 2-0 loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday, in which he allowed two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and a walk in six innings. Sadly, the lack of run support spoiled one of his better starts of the year thus far.
He’ll be facing off against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.93 ERA, 2.91 FIP, with 23 strikeouts to four walks in 30.1 innings pitched over six starts. His last start was in the Rockies’ 8-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, in which he allowed six runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and a walk in four and a third innings.
