SAN FRANCISCO (May 17) \u2014 A fifth-inning three-run homer by Thairo Estrada<\/a><\/strong> off Colorado Rockies<\/a> starter Ryan Feltner<\/a><\/strong> turned the game around for the San Francisco Giants<\/a>, who defeated the Rockies, 10\u20135, Friday night before 32,025 at Oracle Park. The come-from-behind Giants victory snapped the Rockies\u2019 season-long winning streak at seven. Estrada batted 3-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, and three runs scored. Adding to his offensive effort was Luis Matos<\/a><\/strong>, who went 3-for-5 with two doubles and five RBI.<\/p>\n The Rockies started hot against Giants starter Mason Black<\/a><\/strong>. Designated hitter Charlie Blackmon<\/a><\/strong> led off the game with a single to center and advanced to third on a follow-up double by shortstop Ezequiel Tovar<\/a><\/strong>. Third baseman Ryan McMahon<\/a><\/strong> brought both in with a double off the wall in right. A third consecutive double, this one by second baseman Brendan Rodgers<\/a><\/strong>, plated McMahon and gave the Rockies a 3\u20130 lead. Center fielder Brenton Doyle<\/a><\/strong>, right fielder Jake Cave<\/a><\/strong>, and catcher Jacob Stallings<\/a><\/strong> could not continue the hit parade, however. A strikeout, a fly to left, and a popup to first retired the side.<\/p>\n The Giants responded in the bottom of the first after a one-out walk by first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr.<\/a><\/strong> Estrada, the second baseman, hit a potential side-retiring double-play grounder to third, but an errant relay by Rodgers after the force at second kept the inning alive. Third baseman Matt Chapman<\/a><\/strong> made the Rockies pay for the mistake with an RBI double, the 200th two-bagger of his career.<\/p>\n A one-out solo homer by rookie left fielder Jordan Beck<\/a><\/strong>, his second of the season, gave the Rockies a 4\u20131 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, the Giants narrowed the gap to 4\u20132 after a pair of doubles, one by right fielder Mike Yastrzemski<\/a><\/strong> and the other by Matos, the center fielder.<\/p>\n The Giants opened the bottom of the fifth with consecutive singles, the first by designated hitter Jorge Soler<\/a><\/strong> and the second by Wade. Next came Estrada\u2019s homer, which not only turned the game around for the Giants but also served as a knockout blow to Feltner. In came Victor Vodnik<\/a><\/strong>, whom Chapman greeted with a single. A Yastrzemski single advanced Chapman to third, and a one-out swinging bunt up the third-base line by Matos brought Chapman home to make the score 6\u20134.<\/p>\n The Rockies made it a 6\u20135 game in the top of the sixth after a two-out walk by Blackmon and a double to left by Tovar, both off reliever Luke Jackson<\/a><\/strong>. Erik Miller<\/a><\/strong> relieved Jackson, and after walking McMahon, got Rodgers to ground into a side-retiring 6\u20134 force play.<\/p>\n The Giants put the game away by scoring a pair of runs in both the seventh and eighth innings. To open the seventh, Rockies reliever Jake Bird<\/a><\/strong> plunked Chapman and walked Yastrzemski. Two batters later, with Matos at bat, Bird uncorked a wild pitch, advancing Chapman to third. Matos hit a soft checked-swing grounder to the right side, and by the time Bird scooped it up, his only play was at first. Two batters later, shortstop Marco Luciano<\/a><\/strong> drove Yastrzemski in with a single to right, the first hit and first RBI of his career. In the eighth, a two-run, two-out Matos double to left off Anthony Molina<\/a><\/strong> completed the scoring.<\/p>\nRockies \u2013 Giants Game Summary<\/h3>\n
