The Rockies’ postseason dream ended months ago, but that doesn’t mean they can’t spoil other teams’ dreams.
Just ask the Giants.
They arrived at Coors Field with designs of making a big move in the National League wild-card hunt. And why not? Entering the four-game series, the Giants were 16-1 vs. Colorado dating back to last August.
But the Rockies didn’t roll over.
They swept Saturday’s doubleheader, winning the nightcap 5-2 after taking the first game, 9-5, leaving San Francisco 2 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot with 13 games remaining.
The Rockies swept the Giants in a doubleheader for the first time in franchise history, and it was their first doubleheader sweep overall since Aug.
