Todd Helton ran through a stop sign in the sixth inning as if the police were chasing him. He appeared to be dead at the plate when the Giants’ Nate Schierholtz delivered a rocket from right field. Inexplicably, first baseman Ryan Garko cut off the throw, leaving Helton to beat the relay for the Rockies’ first run as catcher Bengie Molina raised his arms in disbelief. “(Garko) knows he made a bad decision. I talked to him,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Closing time.
Huston Street is 13-for-13 in save opportunities at Coors Field. He leads the National League with 33 saves.
Full house.
The Rockies posted their fourth sellout crowd this season, many staying afterward on Faith Day to watch the postgame concert by Mercy Me.
