SAN FRANCISCO — Two teams having different types of issues meet again Tuesday night when the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants continue their three-game series.
The Giants put their problems in the rearview mirror for one night when they used a 14-hit attack and strong pitching by Jeff Samardzija to thump the struggling Rockies 9-2 in the series opener Monday.
The top four hitters in the Giants’ lineup — Denard Span, Joe Panik, Hunter Pence and Buster Posey — combined for 10 hits and six RBIs in San Francisco’s most potent home output since June 11.
