Subtitle: Giants Aim to Extend Winning Streak in Final Series of the Season
Date: [Insert Date]
The San Francisco Giants will have to wait one more day to extend their impressive eight-game winning streak at Coors Field, as Thursday’s series opener against the Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather, the team announced. The game has been rescheduled for 11:10 a.m. PT Saturday, kicking off a split doubleheader. The nightcap will proceed as originally scheduled with a 5:10 p.m. PT first pitch.
Fresh off a successful 5-1 homestand, the Giants find themselves right in the mix for the National League wild-card race. As of Thursday, they trail the Arizona Diamondbacks by a mere 0.5 games for the third and final wild-card spot. Alongside the Giants, the Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins are also within one game of the Diamondbacks. With Thursday being an off day for all three teams, they will eagerly keep an eye on the Diamondbacks’ final game against the New York Mets.
Coors Field has proven to be a favorable battleground for the Giants in recent years. Since the start of the 2021 season, they hold an impressive 17-5 record in Denver and have not lost a game there since August 20 last year. Furthermore, the Giants secured a three-game road series sweep against the Rockies in June and replicated their success with another sweep at Oracle Park last weekend.
San Francisco and Colorado are now set to begin their final series of the 2023 MLB season at 5:10 p.m. PT on Friday. Fans can catch the action on NBC Sports Bay Area and tune in to “Giants Postgame Live” at 4:30 p.m. for expert analysis and insights.

With their impressive record and Coors Field’s friendly confines, the Giants are poised to make a statement in Colorado and solidify their position in the wild-card race.
