The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies combined for 17 runs at Coors field in Denver, and there was only one home run hit in the game! The Giants were able to defeat the Rockies by the score of 10-7 and avoid the three game sweep in the series.
Fred Lewis hit the only home run in the game when he went deep in the second inning with a three run shot. Other then that, it was a bunch of rbi singles pretty much for the Giants. Rich Aurilia also had three rbi in the game to tie Lewis for the game lead. Ray Durham finished the game with two rbi while Emmanuel Burriss and Jonathan Sanchez both had one rbi.
Sanchez got the win on the mound for the Giants and is now 6-3 on the season. Sanchez threw five innings and gave up nine hits and seven runs. Usually Sanchez would have got a loss in the game as he gave up seven runs, but thankfully for him and the Giants, the offense was on top of their game and put ten runs on the board.
Billy Sadler, Jack Taschner, Keiichi Yabu, Tyler Walker, and Brian Wilson should all be congratulated because they held off the Rockies over the final four innings of the game. They were the real game winners if you ask me. Wilson notched his 19th save of the season in the game as well.
The Giants will now play the Oakland A’s in a interleague Bay Area matchup. Hopefully a lot of you will be able to attend the games and root on the Giants!
