Drew Gilbert carried the offense, going 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored. His solo shot in the third tied the game, and he added a two-run single during the decisive fourth-inning rally. Jung Hoo Lee reached base three times, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk, and drove in the go-ahead run himself with a sacrifice fly. Rafael Devers contributed a ground-rule double that plated a run during the same inning.
Colorado led first when Cole Carrigg's single scored Tovar in the third, but Gilbert's homer to right immediately tied it at 1-1. The Giants took the lead for good in the fourth when Hill's sacrifice fly to center brought home Lee. San Francisco kept pouring it on: Gilbert's single scored both Cavanaugh and Kennedy, Devers doubled home Koss, Gilbert himself scored on a wild pitch by Mushinski, and Eldridge's single brought in Devers to cap the outburst.
Rockies starter Michael Lorenzen took the loss, allowing 6 runs on 4 hits over 3.2 innings with 3 walks, his ERA now at 7.08. Tanner Gordon had kept Colorado in it earlier, working 4.0 scoreless innings in relief with 4 strikeouts, but the damage from the fourth put the game out of reach. Colorado managed just 5 hits on the night.
Logan Webb worked six innings for San Francisco, allowing 1 run on 4 hits with 7 strikeouts and no walks to pick up the win, improving to 8-7 with a 3.50 ERA. The Giants' bullpen closed it out with three scoreless innings. San Francisco improved to 51-72 with the win, snapping any momentum Colorado had built, while the Rockies fell to 49-74.
