Giants blow two-run lead in ninth, lose to Rockies

DENVER - Some stats and notes jump off the page and seem incomprehensible, like the Giants having played 26 road games in the second half without consecutive wins.

The Giants were three outs away from checking that off their list Wednesday night when they ran into a painful and familiar problem: Santiago Casilla's inability to shut the door consistently.

The Rockies came back from two runs down in the ninth to beat the Giants 6-5 on Cristhian Adames' two-run double off Joe Nathan with one out in the ninth inning.

Nathan got the blown save, not Casilla, because he surrendered the winning hit with after entering with two on and one out in an inning that began with Nolan Arenado homering against Casilla and two more runners reaching base before Nathan trotted in.
