Rockies shelled for 10 runs in historically awful first inning vs. Giants

It was a Tuesday matinee horror flick at Coors Field. Let’s call it, “A Nightmare on Blake Street.”

In the first inning, the San Francisco Giants sent 13 hitters to the plate, banged out eights, including a grand slam by Brandon Belt, followed by a solo blast by Buster Posey.

The score after one inning: San Francisco 10, the Rockies zilch.

Rockies right-hander German Marquez, their No. 1 starter, gave up eight runs on six hits and saw his ERA soar from 4.13 to 6.21. Jhoulys Chacin came in and served up the two home runs to the first two batters he faced.
