SAN FRANCISCO — How thin is the slumping Rockies’ margin for error? Thursday night, it was one lousy pitch.
With an offense still hiding out in the witness protection program somewhere west of the Mississippi River, they lost their sixth consecutive game, falling 1-0 to the Giants at Oracle Park. It was Colorado’s 10th loss in 11 games, and a team that entered the season with aspirations for its first National League West title now owns a 3-10 record.
The infamous pitch was a 84.5 mph slider thrown by starter Jon Gray to seventh-inning leadoff man Kevin Pillar.
