Getting your player ready...
Jason Giambi’s three-run first-inning home run was his second of the season and the 10th by a Rockies hitter. How handy are three-run shots? Consider this: Giambi’s blast off Kyle Kendrick scored as many runs as the Rockies had totaled in their three previous road games.

The victory snapped a five-game road losing streak for the Rockies, who also had dropped seven in a row at Citizens Bank Park.
