SAN FRANCISCO -- Jon Gray lost his way with the fastball and put the Rockies behind early during an eventual 9-4 loss to the Giants on Saturday afternoon at AT&T Park.
Because of the disappearance of an effective fastball in his last two starts, Gray (4-6) barely resembles the right-hander that had given up just one run in 20 innings.
The pitching issues weren't isolated to Gray. Lefty reliever Chris Rusin gave up two earned runs on five hits in 1 1/3 innings, and Brandon Crawford's two-run homer in the sixth off Brooks Pounders helped wash out the nine-hit offensive effort.
