Giants starter Matt Moore, who pitched an eight-inning three-hitter against Arizona in his most recent outing, wasn't nearly as effective this time. The left-hander surrendered five runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings, faltering particularly in the fourth inning when Colorado scored three runs. Charlie Blackmon's two-run single was the big hit in that uprising.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Same old Nolan: Known for his outstanding performances against the Giants, Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado added another to his collection by demonstrating his versatility. He barehanded Eduardo Nunez's grounder and threw out the speedy Giant to end the second inning, then he highlighted the third with a home run that broke a scoreless tie.
