Preview: San Francisco Giants look to keep postseason hopes alive

Webb will face Colorado for the 18th time in his career — and 17th start — when he takes the mound. In his previous appearances against the Rockies, he is 9-3 with a 3.10 ERA in 101 2/3 innings. Nine of those starts have come in Denver, where he is 3-2 with a 4.44 ERA.

This will be Webb’s second start of the season against Colorado. He got the decision on May 4 in a 9-3 road victory for San Francisco, allowing just one run on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts over seven innings.

The Giants were just 1 1/2 games out of first place after that victory and entered the All-Star break with a 52-45 record, but it’s been tough going since then. San Francisco lost 23 of its first 32 games after the All-Star break and struggled to score runs during a 2-11 stretch.

Things started to turn around in the final week of August. The San Francisco Giants have won eight of nine and averaged 8.5 runs in those victories.

“We went through a tough period where we couldn’t score any runs,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “You look at where we are in the league in runs scored and it’s not great, but we have the ability to do it.”

San Francisco showed that Monday by extending its home run streak to 15 games, the longest in the majors this season. Rookie Drew Gilbert hit his second and Rafael Devers (29) and Willy Adames (26) also added to San Francisco’s home run barrage.

Freeland will try to hold the Giants in check on Tuesday.

Freeland, who has faced the San Francisco Giants more than any other team in the majors, is 8-7 with a 4.21 ERA in those 26 appearances (all starts). Tuesday will be his third start this season against the Giants but he has not recorded a decision in those outings despite allowing three runs in six innings in both instances.
