Giants aim to close out Bochy’s career on high note at home

Bruce Bochy Appreciation Week begins Tuesday night when the San Francisco Giants close out the 2019 season -- and Bochy's managerial career -- with a six-game homestand that opens with the first of three against the Colorado Rockies. Neither the National League West's third-place Giants (75-81) nor fifth-place Rockies (67-89) remains in playoff contention, so the focus of the set can fall entirely on Bochy, who has announced he will retire at the end of this, his 25th season. Left-hander Madison Bumgarner (9-9, 3.86) is the scheduled starter in both the opener and closer of Bochy Week.
