The Giants set a franchise record with 8 doubles, including 2 each from Patrick Bailey and Thairo Estrada, and made the Rockies throw 240 pitches, the second-most in a game of any team this season.
DENVER — There is no lack of San Francisco Giants who enjoy hitting at Coors Field, and after their first game of the season in its mile-high setting, they can probably add at least one more player to the list.
Bailey doubled twice, scored two runs and collected his first career triple as the Giants got 14 hits, including at least one from all but one member of their starting lineup. San Francisco set a franchise record with eight doubles, including a pair from Thairo Estrada in addition to Bailey’s contribution.
One of the majors’ most patient hitters, Wade led off the bottom of the first by ripping the first pitch he saw from Rockies starter Dinelson Lamet down the right field line for a double, then attacked the first pitch again in the seventh for another line-drive single. For the most part, though, Giants hitters made Colorado’s pitchers labor.
Time of game: 3 hours, 28 minutes minutes, the Giants’ longest nine-inning game outside of Mexico City this season.
