There was a tense, big-time playoff hockey game taking place across town Tuesday night, but an avalanche broke out at Coors Field.
The Giants and Rockies combined for 17 runs on 26 hits, including 10 for extra bases, eight by the Giants and two by the Rockies. In the end, the Rockies were buried and left singing the blues — again.
The Giants’ 10-7 victory was their 12th straight over the Rockies, a stretch that includes an eight-game winning streak at Coors Field. Over those 12 games, San Francisco has outscored Colorado 95-41.
The last time the Giants beat a single opponent 12 times in a row they were the New York Giants.
