In a disappointing game for the San Francisco Giants, the bullpen faltered late, leading to a 4-3 loss against the Colorado Rockies, who were struggling this season. Tyler Rogers, having had a strong season thus far, gave up two critical runs late in the eighth inning. Despite the Giants taking a 3-1 lead thanks to hits from Wilmer Flores and Mike Yastrzemski, Justin Verlander remains winless since joining the team, struggling in his first six outings with a 4.70 ERA and only 12 runs of support from the offense.
Rogers allowed three hits in the eighth inning, including a single to Hunter Goodman that scored Jordan Beck and gave the Rockies a one-run lead.
San Francisco could not respond as it lost its third straight game and dropped the opener of a four-game set against the Rockies, who had won just one of their previous 15 road games this season.
Verlander, who signed a one-year, $15 million contract with San Francisco in January, allowed five hits and struck out four, as his record remains at 0-2.
It marked only the second time in his 20-year career that he had gone winless in his first six games.
