Hayden Birdsong struck out 12 over six innings while matching Dylan Cease for the most whiffs generated by any starter this season.
Hayden Birdsong #60 of the San Francisco Giants pitches in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 21, 2024 in Denver, Colorado. DENVER — With time winding down to solidify their position in the playoff race, the Giants were in desperate need of a shot in the arm when they arrived at Coors Field Sunday morning after dropping their first two games of the second half to the worst team in the National League.
Receiving his second straight start after homering and doubling in a two-RBI effort Saturday, Tyler Fitzgerald padded the Giants’ lead with his second home run in as many games to lead off the third inning, and Matt Chapman scored on a passed ball the next inning to extend their advantage to 3-0. In total, Giants pitchers fanned 15 Rockies, tied for their second-most strikeouts in a game this season.
While rare, they are not the only instances of pregame ejections. In fact, Giants pitching coach Bryan Price was tossed by Jim Reynolds during the lineup card exchange on May 23, 2015, when he was managing the Reds, while griping about calls from the previous day’s game. The same game, Conroy, serving as the first-base umpire, failed to get out of the way of a line drive down the foul line, turning a potential extra-base RBI hit from Brett Wisely into an inning-ending out.Bob Melvin downplays concerns about SF Giants’ bullpen workload
