The Giants couldn’t climb out of a 7-0 hole after Alex Wood allowed season highs in runs (7) and HR (3), raising his career ERA here to 8.80.
DENVER — Alex Wood tossed his glove in the air as Brian Serven’s ground ball snuck through the middle of the infield for a second-inning single. When Connor Joe’s home run left the yard in the fourth, Wood lifted his head and took a deep sigh, before returning to the mound and kicking the rubber.
“Just frustrated,” Wood said of his reactions. “They were all frustrating. This place hasn’t been kind to me over the years. But this time of year, a start like that can’t happen. … I just got my ass kicked.” “He’s a pitcher that’s reliant on movement, and the ball moves a little bit less in this ballpark,” Kapler said. “He just missed a few times up in the zone and that was enough. That was the difference in the game.”
Joc Pederson was the only player able to hit Colorado starter José Ureña, who exited to a standing ovation from the Friday night crowd of 31,604, despite taking a 7.77 ERA over his past five starts into this one.
