TODAY Rockies at Giants, 8:15 p.m., ROOT, 850 AM
There’s no way to overstate how much Jeremy Guthrie’s bicycle accident threw the Rockies’ rotation off course. He hadn’t pitched to expectations, but he was still giving the club innings. It didn’t help that his replacement, Guillermo Moscoso, was underwhelming in two starts before his demotion. The Rockies were 3-11 entering Monday night since Guthrie landed on the disabled list with a sore shoulder. Guthrie has been solid on the road this season, posting a 2.57 ERA, while holding opponents to a .146 average. He faces Tim Lincecum, oddly the weak link in the Giants’ rotation this season while dealing with command issues and a lack of velocity.
