Kyle Freeland, who is 9-9 with a 4.43 ERA in 28 starts, will be starting on Tuesday for Colorado. This Giants offense that he will be up against ranks 16th in runs per game and 19th in OPS, but they've had issues at the plate in the second half.
Recently, the left-hander has been slightly better, sporting a 3.74 ERA in his previous four outings. The Rockies man has been poor in Coors, though, carrying a 5.74 ERA at home this season. After his team gave up ten runs last night, Freeland will look to limit the damage tonight.
San Francisco, meanwhile, will hand the ball to John Brebbia, who has a 6-2 record and 2.90 ERA. He has been steady this year and will face a decent Rockies lineup on Tuesday.
Brebbia only averages one inning per start, so expect the bullpen to take over after the first. San Francisco's bullpen has a season ERA of 4.15 and WHIP of 1.38, so they have been pretty mediocre. Expect the Giants' pitching staff to try and piece together what will likely be eight innings on Tuesday in Denver.
