SAN FRANCISCO -- Having seemingly lapsed into another of their periodic offensive slumbers, the Giants went down quietly Friday night against the Colorado Rockies, 6-1.
The Giants again fell short of the four-run offensive threshold that traditionally has defined the difference between victory and defeat for them. They're 20-4 when they score at least four runs. Not surprisingly, they're 2-20 when they tally three or fewer runs.
San Francisco kept the score close until the ninth inning, when Charlie Blackmon yanked a two-run homer off reliever Jose Valdez.
