Getting your player ready...
It took Pablo Sandoval four at-bats Thursday night to hit for the cycle. It took Wilin Rosario seven games. Rosario showed some serious speed for a catcher when he tripled to left-center field in the second inning, giving him two home runs, a double and a triple among his six hits.
About face.
The Giants went into the game having won 11 of Madison Bumgarner’s previous 15 starts after losing 11 of his first 15. Bumgarner has a career 3.73 ERA at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park but is even better (2.52) on the road.
For the record.
The loss dropped the Rockies 10 games under .500 (27-37) against the National League West. They’re .500 (43-43) vs. teams from the East, Central and the American League.
