Carlos Gonzalez, Chris Rusin and the Rockies proved to be too much for the Giants in tonight’s series opener. Rusin's gem was backed by an offensive surge, extending the Giants' losing streak to six.
The Rockies jumped ahead early, tagging Ryan Vogelsong for four runs in the first inning on a two-run shot by Carlos Gonzalez followed by a two-run single from Wilin Rosario.
Vogelsong cut the damage in half himself in the top of the third, launching a two-run homerun off of Chris Rusin into the Rockies bullpen.
