Having beaten the San Francisco Giants for the first time in 11 months, the visiting Colorado Rockies hope to begin a winning streak of their own when the three-game series continues Saturday afternoon.
The Giants' run of dominance over the Rockies stood at 11 straight games dating back to last Aug. 21 before Ezequiel Tovar launched a tie-breaking, three-run homer in the seventh inning of a 5-2 victory Friday night.
Scratching out just five hits and totaling just two runs -- on a Brandon Crawford home run -- likely only further convinced Giants general manager Farhad Zaidi of what he had said going into the final series of the season's first half. The last-place Rockies have found themselves engulfed in far more trade rumors than the Giants as the deadline approaches. They arrived in town having lost four in a row.
It's something the team is going to have to play with until after the deadline, Grichuk acknowledged before contributing a pair of doubles on Friday.
