DENVER - You know it’s a lost season when a team’s best player hurts himself on a home run swing.
And the team’s hottest hitter also gets hurt legging out an infield hit.
In the same inning.
So, yes, things can get worse for the National League West’s last-place team.
The Giants rallied from a 9-1 deficit to tie Thursday night’s game in the ninth inning, but the Rockies won 10-9 in the home half of the inning by scoring off Hunter Strickland, who appeared in his third straight game.
The Giants seemed to be playing out the string in the seventh inning when the season slipped two more notches into the ditch.
