Colorado RockiesvsSan Francisco Giants
COL 4/SF 3
Things to say
The Colorado Rockies edged the San Francisco Giants 4-3 at Oracle Park.
01
opener
Rockies stole one on the road, 4-3. Giants left the tying run out there late. One of those games that felt closer than the box score.
02
key player
Colorado's heart of the order carried it. A couple of them got into their stuff and put up the runs that stuck.
03
hot take
Giants manager went to the pen too early. You've got a starter cruising and you pull him? That's how you cough up a one-run game.
04
deep cut
Two sub-.500 clubs, but Colorado winning at Oracle is no small thing. That park eats righties alive and they still found four.
05
exit
Getaway day tomorrow, so we'll see if the Giants bats wake up before they leave town.
The recap
Two teams going nowhere fast turned a getaway day at Oracle Park into a real nail-biter, and the Rockies snuck out of San Francisco with a 4-3 win. This was a bullpen grind — every run mattered when you're scratching for four, and Colorado found just enough offense to stay a nose ahead.
The Giants left the tying run out there and couldn't get the heart of the order to left the yard when they needed it. Ugly baseball between two 39-win clubs, but the Rockies will take it.
