San Francisco looks to avoid being swept in a three-game series by the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday when the teams meet at Coors Field, where the Giants are 2-16 since the start of last season. The Giants have lost six in a row to the Rockies, who remained one-half game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West with Tuesday’s 6-2 victory.
David Dahl and Ryan McMahon each homered and Carlos Gonzalez tripled in three runs Tuesday as the Rockies won their fourth straight and moved a season-high 14 games above .500. Leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon had three singles, but Nolan Arenado went 0-for-3 with two walks and has four hits in his last 32 at-bats. Gorkys Hernandez homered in his second straight game for San Francisco, which has lost four in a row and been held to three runs or fewer in seven of its last nine contests. The Giants are giving regular playing time to rookie outfielder Chris Shaw, who belted his first career home run on Sunday but was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on Tuesday and is 1-for-10 with seven strikeouts over his first five games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Andrew Suarez (6-9, 4.19 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Antonio Senzatela (4-5, 4.88)
Suarez ended August with a 4.41 ERA over six starts but closed the month on a high note with seven shutout innings against the New York Mets last Friday. The 25-year-old rookie has posted a 5.55 ERA in 12 road starts compared to a 3.07 mark in 12 outings at AT&T Park. Suarez is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two career starts against Colorado – including seven innings of one-run ball in a 1-0 loss at Coors Field on July 4.
Senzatela was a hard-luck loser last Friday after allowing one run on four hits over six innings against San Diego. The 23-year-old native of Venezuela is 2-4 with a 4.37 ERA in eight starts since moving into the rotation at the beginning of July. Joe Panik is 4-for-12 with two home runs against Senzatela, who tossed seven shutout innings in an 8-1 victory over San Francisco on July 3 and owns a 4-0 record and 3.26 ERA in six career games (four starts) versus the Giants.
