Colorado RockiesvsSan Francisco Giants
COL 13/SF 7
Things to say
The Rockies beat the Giants 13-7 at Oracle Park.
01
opener
Yeah, that one got out of hand fast. Rockies put up 13 in San Francisco, which basically never happens at Oracle. Giants just couldn't stop the bleeding.
02
key player
The heart of the Colorado order was locked in all night. Ball kept leaving the yard in a park that usually swallows it up.
03
hot take
Giants manager went to the pen way too early and it snowballed. When your starter's got nothing, sometimes you just wear it and save the arms.
04
deep cut
For a last-place club, the Rockies scoring 13 on the road is wild since they never hit outside Coors. That's the real story here.
05
exit
Anyway, two teams going nowhere, but it's a getaway day — curious if Colorado carries any of that bat into the next series.
The recap
The Rockies rolled into Oracle Park and hung a 13-spot on the Giants, and honestly it never really felt close once the bats got going. Colorado's lineup left the yard and worked counts all afternoon, and San Francisco's starter clearly didn't have his stuff, which meant the manager went to the pen way too early and it snowballed from there.
Seven runs sounds respectable until you remember the other guys put up thirteen. Getaway day at the yard, and the Rockies made sure to steal one on the road.
