Oracle Park weather for the Colorado Rockies-San Francisco Giants series: May 9-11
The Colorado Rockies (16-12) will take on the San Francisco Giants (16-12) at Oracle Park in San Francisco to start the week, which will end Colorado’s six-game road trip.
As per usual in San Francisco, it will be an interesting weather series. Mark Twain once said that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco and the weather in the second week of May in San Francisco won’t be any better for the Rockies and Giants.
