The formula that delivered the Rockies a rare victory over the Giants on Friday night -- solid starting pitching and a heroic homer — was nowhere to be found Saturday afternoon
The Giants’ hitters roughed up right-hander Connor Seabold early and Colorado’s bats went silent for a good chunk of the game as the Giants prevailed, 5-3, at Oracle Park.
San Francisco, which has won 12 of the last 13 games vs. Colorado, improved to 33-10 against its National League West foe since the start of the 2021 season, the best record by any team in a divisional matchup over that span. Colorado staged a two-out rally in the eighth, scoring a run on Kris Bryant’s ground-rule double to left, followed by singles from C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk. But San Francisco right-hander Tyler Rogers, who served up the game-winning homer to Ezequiel Tovar Friday night, got pinch-hitter Elias Diaz to pop out to short.
Seabold’s start wasn’t pretty but it could have been really ugly, so credit the right-hander for hanging tough, albeit in an abbreviated start. Over 3 2/3 innings he was charged with three runs on seven hits. He struck out three and walked one.
