German Marquez was money again, Carlos Gonzalez delivered a clutch bases-clearing, go-ahead triple in the seventh inning and the first-place Rockies — now officially surging to start September — earned their 40th comeback victory of the season in a 6-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at Coors Field.
The latest Colorado rally was set up by Marquez’s eighth straight quality outing in which the emerging 23-year-old Venezuelan became the only pitcher in Rockies history to tally 11 or more strikeouts in consecutive starts, as the right-hander posted a career-high 13 K’s his previous time out.
