It’s June, and the Giants still have an NL West opponent they have yet to see this season. A new oddity of this year’s balanced schedule, that ends this week, though, as the Giants head to Coors Field for three games against the Rockies, starting Tuesday. The week ahead Heading into their first meeting this season with the Giants, the Rockies have won three of their past four series. Since an eight-game losing streak in mid-April, they have played .500 ball for nearly a two-month stretch now, 21-21 since April 20. Like the Giants, the Rockies are off Monday after traveling back to Denver from Kansas City, where they took two of three. The Giants make a quick pitstop back in San Francisco this weekend for three games with the Chicago Cubs between returning from Denver and jetting off to St. Louis on Monday. It’s the end of a 10-game West Coast swing for the Cubs, who are looking to get back on track after a 10-18 record in May. Pitching probables Tuesday, 5:40 p.m. PT – TBA/bullpen* vs. RHP Dinelson Lamet (1-2, 13.17) TV:

Roger Craig, the manager who brought “Humm Baby” to San Francisco Giants lore and turned the franchise around from its lowest point in history, has died, the team announced on Sunday. He was 93. After a 12-year career as a pitcher and a two-year stint as Padres manager, Craig took over as Giants manager for the final 18 games of 1985 and guided the team until 1992, winning two division titles (1987 and 1989) and one National League championship in 1989. “We have lost a legendary member of our Giants family,” Larry Baer, president and CEO of the Giants, said in a statement. “Roger was beloved by players, coaches, front office staff and fans. He was a father figure to many and his optimism and wisdom resulted in some of the most memorable seasons in our history.” San Francisco, CA September 25, 1989 – Giants manager Roger Craig.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants were riding high a week ago on their flight home from Milwaukee. But they failed to capitalize on that momentum over a six-game home stand that culminated Sunday with their second loss in three games to the Baltimore Orioles. Whatever chances the Giants had at salvaging one series win this home stand were sapped in the third inning, as Anthony DeSclafani lost the ability to locate, Baltimore brought 12 batters to the plate, and the Orioles scored six runs, knocking San Francisco’s starter from the game and taking a commanding early lead. With an 8-3 loss, the Giants (29-30) dropped two of three to the Orioles, lost both series of their six-game home stand and fell one game under .500. DeSclafani had completed at least five innings and hadn’t issued more than two walks in all of his first 11 starts this season, but both streaks were snapped Sunday. Only Juan Marichal (23, 1968) and Madison Bumgarner (17, 2017) had reeled off more consecutive starts of five-plus innings and two or fewer walks to begin a season. The third inning

SANTA CLARA — Revisiting the 49ers’ quarterback carousel last season – possibly the NFL’s wildest ever — ultimately leads to their NFC Championship Game trauma. “Oh man, I didn’t really want to go back there right now,” 49ers quarterbacks coach Brian Griese said last week with a sigh. The 49ers are still putting the pieces back together, literally. Case in point: Brock Purdy just started a throwing program on an elbow magically repaired from that 31-7 NFC Championship loss at Philadelphia. Coming within a win of a Super Bowl still stings, all due respect to the four quarterbacks hurt along the way – Purdy, Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Josh Johnson — in a fascinating but ultimately unsatisfying season. “We certainly had our fair share of high-stress situations,” Griese recalled Thursday. “And I felt like our guys — all four of them, really — did an unbelievable job of managing those, and I think that’s a big reason why we had success as a team.” 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is greeted by Philadelphia corner Avante Maddox following a 31-7 title game loss against Philadelphia Sunday
