The Rockies’ one-two rookie punch KO’d the Giants in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Coors Field.
Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run triple and drove in a career-high four runs, and left fielder Nolan Jones tripled and scored three times as Colorado rolled to a 9-5 victory.
The Giants, who entered the day one game out of the race for the National League’s third wild-card spot, were hurt by awful pitching. The Giants walked seven, including four in Colorado’s three-run fifth inning. San Francisco led 3-0 in the third until Tovar’s bases-loaded triple knotted the game in the bottom of the frame.Left-hander Kyle Freeland was scheduled to start Game 2 for the Rockies.Right-hander Peter Lambert, who’s pitched well enough to earn strong consideration for a spot in next season’s starting rotation, was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right biceps tendinitis.
