In an exciting game at Coors Field, the San Francisco Giants overcame a 6-3 deficit in the eighth inning to secure a 10-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies, marking their seventh consecutive win.
Willy Adames was a standout player for the Giants, contributing a home run and driving in three runs. The Giants, however, found themselves trailing as they entered the eighth before staging a comeback against Rockies reliever Tyler Kinley. A series of hits from Adames, Heliot Ramos, and Dominic Smith loaded the bases with one out. Casey Schmitt then walked to bring in a run, followed by Mike Yastrzemski, whose two-run double tied the game against the right-center wall.
A crucial moment came when Tyler Fitzgerald executed a well-placed bunt against Zach Agnos, allowing Schmitt to slide around the tag of catcher Hunter Goodman for the go-ahead run, a call later confirmed by replay review despite initial opposition.
The Giants tacked on three more runs in the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly from Wilmer Flores and RBIs from Schmitt and Yastrzemski. Goodman added his eleventh homer in the bottom of the ninth, contributing to a three-hit performance, but it wasn’t enough as the Rockies fell to a dismal 12-55 on the season, extending their losing streak to five.
Tristan Beck picked up the win for the Giants, delivering three innings of solid relief. Both Adames and Yastrzemski finished with three RBIs, while Adames had three hits and crossed home plate three times.
In a historical note, the Giants have demonstrated resilience this season, winning 17 games after trailing by multiple runs. This statistic ties them with only a couple of teams since 1901 for such a feat in the first 68 games of the season. Moreover, the Giants’ previous eight games had been decided by just one run, just shy of the major league record for consecutive one-run victories.
Looking ahead, the Giants will conclude the three-game series with Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela on the mound, presenting an opportunity to capitalize further on their current momentum.
This game highlights the Giants’ determination and ability to come back in tough situations, which is an encouraging sign as they continue pushing through the season.
