The Giants will have to wait a day for a chance to extend their eight-game winning streak at Coors Field.
Thursday’s series opener between the Giants and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather, the team announced. The game has been rescheduled for 11:10 am PT Saturday as the first game of a split doubleheader. The nightcap will be played as originally scheduled with a 5:10 pm PT first pitch.
The Giants, fresh off a 5-1 homestand, are in the thick of the NL wild-card race. Entering Thursday’s slate of games, San Francisco is 0.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the third and final wild-card spot. The Giants, Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins — all within a game of the Diamondbacks — are now off Thursday and will look to Arizona to wrap up a four-game series against the New York Mets.
Coors Field has been friendly to the Giants in recent years. They haven’t lost a game there since August 20 of last year and are 17-5 in Denver since the start of the 2021 season. The Giants swept the Rockies in a three-game road series back in June and swept them at Oracle Park last week.
San Francisco and Colorado begin their final series of the 2023 MLB season at 5:10 pm PT Friday. Tune in to NBC Sports Bay Area for “Giants Postgame Live” at 4:30 p.m
