Credit where credit is due: Backup catcher Drew Butera was the Colorado Rockies' best pitcher on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants. He allowed three runs in 1 u2154 innings, good for a 5.40 ERA, at the tail end of San Francisco's otherworldly 23-5 victory.
When you win a game 23-5, the box score is going to be gaudy. Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson hit three homers, and said afterwards, "That's by far the best game I've ever had in my life." Three Giants recorded six RBIs, which is a first in MLB history. San Francisco scored at least a run in every inning, save for the ninth, and put together 27 hits in total.
