The Rockies flunked their litmus test.
The Giants beat them, 5-2, Sunday at Oracle Park to clinch the four-game series and extend the Rockies’ road misery. Colorado finished 1-5 on a trip through Houston and San Francisco.
Sunday, the Giants knocked Jon Gray off the mound in the fifth inning, while lefty Alex Wood stymied the Rockies for six innings before they nicked him for two runs in the seventh.
Elias Diaz and Charlie Blackmon delivered back-to-back, pinch-hit RBI singles, trimming San Francisco’s lead to 3-2. It might have been a bigger inning but Diaz, trying to score from second on Connor Joe’s single, was gunned down on a great throw from right fielder LaMonte Wade Jr.
