The San Francisco Giants got down 2-0 in the first inning of
every single game in this series against the Colorado Rockies. Sunday afternoon
did not provide the same suspense as Saturday’s game, but the Giants came back
to win 7-3.
Matt Cain
did not have command of his pitches early, as he walked five Rockie hitters in
the first two innings.
Cain
settled down and pitched five solid innings. When asked about his performance,
Cain said, "I thought I might run out
of pitches sometime in the third. I just made a little bit better pitches where
the balls weren't maybe up as much."
After Cain was pulled from the game,
the Giants would feature six relievers, who gave up only one run.
In the first inning, Rockie right
fielder Michael Cuddyer doubled to left to score Dexter Fowler and Nolan
Arenado.
The Rockies would not score again
until the eight inning, when Jordan Pacheco singled in Todd Helton.
Giants superstar catcher Buster
Posey is crazy hot right now, as he contributed a homerun in the second inning
and a single in the eighth inning.
San Francisco broke the game open in
the fifth inning, when Brandon Belt doubled to score Marco Scutaro and Hunter
Pence. Later on in the inning, Andres Torres doubled to score Belt.
The Giants would add two more runs
in the sixth inning, when Pence doubled to center to score Scutaro and Posey.
The men in orange and black are tied
with Arizona Diamondbacks for first place in the National League West. San
Francisco hopes that their good luck stays with them for the remainder of the year.
