San Francisco GiantsvsColorado Rockies
SF 3/COL 8
Things to say
Rockies beat the Giants 8-3 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Rockies took the Giants 8-3 at Coors. Felt over by the middle innings. San Fran just couldn't string anything together.
02
key player
Colorado's bats finally showed up — heart of the order did the damage and you could tell they got into the Giants' starter early.
03
hot take
Giants manager went to the pen way too early and it blew up in his face. At Coors you ride your starter another inning, every time.
04
deep cut
Both teams sitting at 22 wins and the Rockies are somehow the hotter team right now — that's a sentence I didn't think I'd say in May.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow — curious if the Giants can flip it before they leave Denver.
The recap
Rockies took this one 8-3 at Coors, and honestly it looked like a classic altitude beatdown where the Giants' pitching just couldn't survive the thin air. San Francisco's starter clearly didn't have it, and once the manager went to the pen, Colorado kept piling on through the heart of the order.
The Rockies finally look like they're swinging it at home, while the Giants drop a winnable getaway-day game and slip back under .500. Two scuffling clubs, but on this night Colorado left no doubt.
