The San Francisco Giants lost the first game of a three game series to the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.  The Rockies scored three runs in the sixth inning to go ahead and beat the Giants 4-3.

Patrick Misch pitched 5 1/3 innings and gave up five hits and three runs.  Misch took the loss as his record dropped to 0-1 on the season.  Vinnie Chulk gave up one run in the game as he pitched the final two outs of the sixth inning.  Billy Sadler and Alex Hinshaw pitched the seventh and eighth innings without any problems.

Randy Winn had two rbi for the Giants as he led them at the plate.  Winn had a solo home run in the first inning and then a sac fly in the third inning.  The other Giants run came in the sixth inning when Rich Aurilia had a rbi single.

The Giants will try to come back and beat the Rockies on Tuesday.  They really need to pick up the win tomorrow.  Giants Blog
