Giants match franchise record eight doubles in win vs Rockies

DENVER -- Hunter Pence had three of a record-tying eight doubles for San Francisco, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 8-3 on Sunday.

Pence's double in the eighth helped the Giants equal a mark accomplished four times since the Giants moved to San Francisco after the 1957 season. Denard Span hit his first homer since April 4 as part of a 17-hit attack.

Johnny Cueto (8-1) allowed two runs - one earned - and six hits to become the first Giants pitcher to win at least eight of his first 11 starts since Shawn Estes in 1997.
