Overview
- The San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 on Saturday at Oracle Park, breaking Colorado's three-game winning streak.
- Right-hander Logan Webb worked six innings, allowed one run on four hits, struck out seven with no walks, and recorded his 1,100th career strikeout.
- Drew Gilbert had three hits, including a third-inning home run, and drove in three runs as part of a six-run fourth inning that put the game out of reach.
- Rookie Turner Hill made his major league debut and started the fourth-inning rally with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly while Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen was charged with six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings and removed.
- The win is a bright spot in a difficult season for the Giants, who entered the day well out of playoff position at 50-72, and the club will send Blade Tidwell to start the series finale on Sunday.
