The San Francisco
Giants comeback magic was not there tonight as the Giants got down 10 – 5,
ultimately coming back to make it a one run game in the eighth inning, but
could not get that tying run home as Colorado Rockies closer, Rafael
Betancourt, struck out three for a perfect ninth inning save.
The Giants led 4 –
0 after three innings, but made four errors.
This is something very unlike the Giants who have great defensive
players in every position. Three of the
errors were throwing errors and the Giants need to get back to the
fundamentals. They have made nine errors
in the past four games.
Making four errors
will cost you, especially at Coors Field.
The real dagger to the Giants was a grand slam off the bat of Jordan
Pacheco, which put the Rockies up 9 – 5.
Carlos Gonzalez added a solo shot in the seventh inning.
Madison Bumgarner
lasted 4.2 innings and gave up seven runs, with five earned runs.
The Giants ended
their 10 game winning streak against the power packed Colorado Rockies with the
10 – 9 loss. Tomorrow, Tim Lincecum
looks to build off his strongest start of the year as he takes on Tyler
Chatwood.
