In this story:


The San Francisco Giants’ undefeated start to the spring training campaign is done. Now, it’s time to start a new winning streak.

The Giants lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 13-12, on Wednesday, a game that featured the Brewers making a walk-off comeback to claim the victory. But San Francisco clobbered three home runs and got a solid start from Adrian Houser before the Brewers finally go their offense going.

The Rockies were baseball’s worst team a year ago and are under new leadership. They’re off to a strong start to the spring. Thursday’s game is set for 1:05 p.m. mountain time and 12:05 p.m. pacific time.

Here is a breakdown of today’s game, including the starting pitcher, lineup, injuries and other notes.

RHP Joel Peguero: His left hamstring tightness is progressing and he should be able to begin a throwing program in the next week.

LHP Sam Hentges: The Giants signed him knowing he missed all of 2025 with right knee surgery and would need a slower ramp-up in spring training.

RHP Jason Foley: San Francisco signed the former Tigers closer with the idea that he would be ready at midseason after anterior capsule surgery in his right shoulder. He is on the 60-day injured list.

RHP Rowan Wick: Signed earlier this month, he’ll miss the 2026 season after Tommy John surgery and is on the 60-day injured list.

RHP Randy Rodríguez: He suffered an elbow injury late last season and had Tommy John surgery. He is expected to miss the season and is on the 60-day injured list.
