The rally came after the Rockies had taken a 5-4 lead in the seventh on Nolan Arenado's two-run double, followed by Carlos Gonzalez's seventh homer of the season. The Rockies had endured six strong innings from Giants starter Madison Bumgarner (one run, five hits, six strikeouts) before making their run.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Fine fielding: San Francisco's infield added to its collection of timely double plays in the sixth inning, rescuing Bumgarner from a bases-loaded jam. With one out, shortstop Brandon Crawford backhanded Cristhian Adames' grounder as if were drawn by a magnet to his glove. Second baseman Panik appeared to delay releasing his throw ever so slightly but still had time to throw out Adames at first base.
CarGo's big blast: Gonzalez capped a four-run seventh for the Rockies with a two-run home run to center field off Josh Osich. He had three hits, including single in the fifth and ninth, extending his hit streak to six games, during which he has hit .480. Through the first 19 games of May, he was hitting .183.
WHAT'S NEXT
Giants: Johnny Cueto, who owns an 18 1/3 scoreless-inning streak against Colorado, will start Sunday's series finale that begins at 1:10 p.m. PT. Cueto has thrived at Coors Field, where he's 3-1 with a 2.61 ERA in five career starts. It has been a successful May for Cueto, who's 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA in five starts during the month.
Rockies: Lefty Chris Rusin will hope to erase a bad memory when he starts in the series finale against the Giants on Sunday at 2:10 p.m. MT. Last time Rusin started against the Giants, on May 5, the Rockies scored a club-record 13 runs in the top of the fifth en route to a 17-7 win. But Rusin couldn't get through the bottom of the inning and was charged with seven runs and 13 hits in 4 1/3 innings.
