San Francisco GiantsvsColorado Rockies
SF 6/COL 8
Things to say
Rockies beat the Giants 8-6 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Rockies took down the Giants 8-6 at Coors. Classic thin-air slugfest. Both bullpens looked cooked by the seventh.
02
key player
Colorado's bats did the damage early, and once you're chasing at Coors you're cooked.
03
hot take
Giants manager went to the pen way too early, that's two in a row he's burned his middle relief on a getaway-style game.
04
deep cut
Rockies are 21-37 and still own the Giants this season at home, Coors is just a different ballpark for that lineup.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if San Francisco can steady the rotation before the next series, that bullpen needs a day.
The recap
Rockies took down the Giants 8-6 at Coors, which tells you all you need to know about the kind of night it was — ball was flying. Colorado's bats got into San Francisco's starter early and never really let the pen settle in once the Giants went to it.
The heart of the order did the damage in the thin air, and a couple balls left the yard that probably stay in any other park. Bad loss for SF on the road, but at Coors you tip your cap and move on.
