2nd inning: 8-10

1st inning: 8-10
2nd inning: 8-10

The Giants were rained out tonight in Colorado. The game will be made up on July 15th as part of a doubleheader. Play resumes tomorrow at 12:10 PDT, Derek Holland will get the start. He was recalled from the IL for the start this evening and Williams Jerez was optioned back to AAA.

At 16-20 (.444) the Giants are tied for fourth (last) in the NL West with the Rockies. They are seven back of the 24-14 Dodgers. Their 136 runs scored is 25th in baseball. That means five teams: the Blue Jays, the Indians, the Pirates, the Tigers, and the Marlins have scored fewer runs. The Giants have allowed 164 runs. That puts them squarely in the middle of the pack at the 15th spot. The league average across MLB is 164 runs allowed. The pitching had been better-than-average for a long stretch, then they gave up 23 runs to the Yankees, 13 to the Dodgers, and 37 to the Reds.

The team comes home to face the Reds on Friday, then they have an off-day and play two against the Blue Jays, then another off-day before a weekend series in Arizona. That's five games in seven days at home after the getaway game tomorrow.

Go Giants!

I think you mean "37 to the Reds".
