Ryan Feltner controlled the game from the first pitch, and the Colorado offense did the rest. The Rockies defeated San Francisco 8-3 at Coors Field, ending their struggles with a performance that felt effortless.
Feltner threw six shutout innings, allowing four hits without issuing a walk. He struck out two and needed just 63 pitches to earn his second win of the season. The right-hander carried a 4.85 ERA into the game and dominated a Giants lineup that managed only scattered threats.
Jake McCarthy carried the Colorado offense with a 3-for-4 performance that included a two-run homer and four RBI. McCarthy scored on Willi Castro's first-inning single, then launched a 427-foot homer in the fourth that scored Edouard Julien. He added RBI singles in the fifth and seventh innings. Kyle Karros contributed a solo homer in the seventh, and TJ Rumfield capped the scoring with an RBI single.
Adrian Houser absorbed the loss for San Francisco, allowing four runs on eight hits over 3.2 innings. He walked two and struck out four before departing with his team trailing 4-0. The Giants managed late runs on Drew Gilbert's two-run homer in the eighth and Matt Chapman's RBI single in the ninth, but the game was decided long before.
Colorado improved to 21-37 and snapped a losing streak. San Francisco fell to 22-35, extending their losing streak to four games.
