The Giants mounted another comeback against the Rockies on Tuesday night to keep an insane streak of tight wins alive.

The Rockies are a weird and flawed team. They’ve stumbled and bumbled their way to a 12-50 start as they entered their weekend series vs. the Mets at Coors Field. Their starting pitching has been mostly a train wreck. Starters have a combined ERA of 6.55, worst in the majors and more than a run higher than the Marlins’ 5.50.

Jake Bird is in the midst of a career year, making the 29-year-old relief pitcher a prime candidate to get traded by the Colorado Rockies later this summer.

1. The Rockies are one of just two teams since 1901 to have fewer than 10 wins in their first 55 games, joining the 1904 Washington Senators. Colorado did manage to avoid the major league record, as the 1895 Louisville Colonels mustered only eight wins in their first 55 games of the year.
