Right-hander Logan Webb hopes to finish off the first half of the season differently than he started it when the San Francisco Giants hand him the ball for the finale of a three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon.
The teams have split the first two games of the set, with the Giants drawing even with a 5-3 victory on Saturday after the Rockies had opened with a 5-2 win.
The Giants have lost each of Webb's last two starts as the All-Star break approaches. Webb recorded a loss against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 28 before striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings and settling for a no-decision against the Seattle Mariners on Monday -- a game San Francisco ended up losing 6-5.
Webb likely will not experience the comfort of having defensive whiz Brandon Crawford behind him at shortstop. The veteran had to come out of Saturday's game with a tight left hamstring, and with the All-Star break one day away, Kapler noted it would take unusual circumstances for him to make an appearance Sunday.
In the series finale, Giants hitters will get their cracks at Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland , who is winless in his last nine starts, going 0-5 with a 6.95 ERA. He is coming off a 4-1 loss at Houston on Tuesday in which he allowed all four runs in 6 1/3 innings.
