Michael Conforto and Austin Slater hit two-run home runs, Alex Wood threw five innings of scoreless relief and the San Francisco Giants evened their three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies with a 5-3 victory on Saturday afternoon.
After scoring no more than two runs in any of their previous three games, the Giants matched that figure 13 pitches into the bottom of the first on Saturday when Conforto took Rockies starter Connor Seabold deep for a 2-0 lead. His 13th homer of the season scored Joc Pederson, who had doubled.
San Francisco's other run, which broke a 2-2 tie, came in the fourth when Patrick Bailey doubled and Blake Sabol singled him home. Colorado scored single runs against Giants opener Ryan Walker in the first and second innings, the latter producing a 2-2 tie. C.J. Cron had an RBI single in the first, and Austin Wynns belted his first homer of the year, a solo shot, in the second.
