Giants overtake Rockies for seventh consecutive win

Casey Schmitt slid around the tag of catcher Hunter Goodman to score the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as the San Francisco Giants rallied again to beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 on Wednesday in Denver for their seventh straight victory.

San Francisco came close to its seventh consecutive one-run victory, which would have tied the major league record set by the 1927 Chicago Cubs.

Willy Adames homered among his three hits, Mike Yastrzemski, Heliot Ramos and Schmitt had two hits each and Jung Hoo Lee and Adames scored three runs apiece for San Francisco. Yastrzemski knocked in three runs.

Giants reliever Tristan Beck (1-0) pitched three innings of two-run ball.

San Francisco trailed 6-3 after seven innings but hit three singles to load the bases with one out in the eighth against Tyler Kinley (0-3). Schmitt walked to bring home one run, and Yastrzemski hit a two-run double to tie it.

Schmitt's slide on Fitzgerald's sacrifice bunt made it 7-6, and San Francisco tacked on three more runs in the ninth for its first multirun win since June 1.

Goodman homered and doubled twice and Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle had two hits each for Colorado, which has lost five in a row. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland allowed three runs on six hits in six innings but got a no-decision. He struck out five and walked two.

The Giants went ahead 3-0 on Adames' two-run homer in the first, his seventh, and his sacrifice fly in the third.

The Rockies rallied in the bottom of the third off San Francisco starter Robbie Ray.

Tyler Freeman and Beck singled, and one out later, Goodman doubled to bring home Freeman. Thairo Estrada hit a grounder to second, and first baseman Jerar Encarnacion missed the throw, allowing both runners to score to tie it.

Keston Hiura hit a two-out RBI single to put Colorado in front 4-3.

Ray lasted four innings, allowing four runs -- two earned -- on six hits and two walks. He struck out five in his shortest outing since April 16 at Philadelphia.

The Rockies tacked on a run in the fifth on Orlando Arcia's RBI single and another when Ryan Ritter led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Freeman's sacrifice fly.

The Giants will aim to sweep the three-game series on Thursday.
