Buster Posey was 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Brandon Crawford finished 2-for-4, while Pablo Sandoval went 3-for-4 with an RBI. Sam Dyson picked up the win in relief. Charlie Blackmon was 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and two RBIs to pace the Rockies. Gerardo Parra went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Ian Desmond was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run. Chris Rusin suffered the loss out of the bullpen.
Chatwood has been stellar since returning to the starting rotation and the Rockies are clinging to the second NL Wild Card spot. They need victories and losing two in a row to the Giants would be devastating to them. We’re liking Colorado’s chances to get to Moore early and getting a victory.
