After scoring seven runs in the top of the third inning off of Ubaldo Jimenez, the San Francisco Giants looked like they were going to run away with a big victory. Unfortunately, this is Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies, where anything can happen in a major league game. The Giants jumped out to a 7-1 lead, but gave the lead away; however after falling behind 8-7, the Giants would comeback to defeat the Rockies 11-8. Travis Ishikawa hit a grand slam in the top of the third inning off of Jimenez, who was looking for his 15th win of the season. Manny Corpas gave up a two-run triple to Nate Schierholtz in the top of the seventh inning, as the Giants retook the lead from the Rockies. Aubrey Huff would put the game away in the top of the ninth inning ,as he hit a two-run home run off of Matt Flores and the Giants put an end their seven-game losing streak. Jimenez went six innings, giving up seven runs on just five hits, walking four and striking out five. Barry Zito went 5.1 innings, allowing six runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out just one and was unable to pickup his eighth win of the season. Bruce Bochy was ejected in the bottom of the sixth inning by first base umpire Paul Nauert, who called Jonathan Herrera safe on a drag bunt. |
