tough loss. Game changed in B2, when Giants, already up 3-0, had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs (maybe 1) with 2-3 hitters coming up . . . and they fail to score. Rockies systematically come back to take a 4-3 lead, only to have Belt tie it with 8th inning leadoff dinger. but then nothing.
Slater ends game grounding into DP with runner on third. Ouch!
I predict Padres take at least 3 of 4 and Giants are out (actually think Giants need to take 3 of 4, which is highly unlikely, given Padre ownage).
P.S. Great play by Story in B10 to keep Rockies in game. Bases loaded; 1 out; Rockies put a fifth infielder in the game and bring infield semi-in. Longo hits a rocket into "the hole" and Story manages to spear a short hop (which had his back to home plate). From his knees/backside, he makes throw home for a force out. (Ball was hit so hard, I actually think he could have gone to third, then to first, for a DP . . . but whatever. Great play regardless).
