Overview

  • The Rockies erased a 2-1 deficit with a three-run ninth that began when Mickey Moniak singled and Troy Johnston was walked, then Jake McCarthy bunted to load the bases.
  • Kyle Karros delivered a broken-bat, two-run single to center that chased the lead and Cole Carrigg added an insurance sacrifice fly to make it 4-2.
  • Rafael Devers accounted for all three Giants runs with a second-inning homer, a seventh-inning RBI single, and a ninth-inning sacrifice fly.
  • Antonio Senzatela worked a perfect eighth to earn the win, Caleb Kilian took the loss, and Juan Mejia recorded his fourth save after replacing Jordan Romano in the ninth.
  • The result breaks a recent run of Giants success over Colorado and sets up a scheduled matchup of Kyle Freeland for the Rockies against Tyler Mahle for the Giants in the next game.
