It was easy to buy into the Giants’ playoff chances after they dismantled the Rockies in a 23-5 blowout win on Tuesday at Coors Field.
It was even easier when the club jumped out to a 4-0 first inning lead against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland in Wednesday’s series finale. Yet every time the Giants look like they’re about to turn a corner, they find new adversity.
Two of the cardinal rules of winning baseball games at Coors Field are scoring early and scoring often and while the Giants picked up where they left off in Tuesday’s game, they didn’t do enough to add on.
