Giants Look to Keep Edge Over Rockies, Robbie Ray Faces Tanner Gordon

Pitching Matchup

San Francisco will lean on left‑hander Robbie Ray, who carries a 3.45 ERA and a 4.70 FIP after striking out 86 batters while walking 46 in 101.2 innings. Ray earned a win in the Giants’ 6‑4 victory over the Rockies on Saturday, limiting Colorado to three runs on five hits across six frames. Opposite him, the Rockies turn to right‑hander Tanner Gordon, whose 6.95 ERA and 5.03 FIP reflect a rough stretch; he has fanned 46 hitters and issued 10 walks in 45.1 innings. Gordon survived a gritty start in the Rockies’ 7‑6 win at Oracle Park on Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits while recording seven strikeouts in five innings.
