Rockies snap Giants’ 8-game winning streak with 5-3 victory

 

DENVER (AP) — Daniel Descalso homered and drove in three runs and the Colorado Rockies snapped the San Francisco Giants’ eight-game winning streak, taking the second game of a rain-soaked doubleheader 5-3 on Saturday night.

Descalso had a run-scoring groundout in the fourth and added a two-run homer in the sixth off spot starter Yusmeiro Petit (1-1).

Descalso’s homer off a 79 mph changeup put Colorado ahead 4-2, marking the first time the Giants trailed by more than a run since May 9.

San Francisco, which won the opener 10-8 behind Brandon Crawford’s three RBIs, was seeking its first nine-game streak since winning 10 in a row in May 2004.

David Hale (1-0), acquired from Atlanta in the offseason but plagued by a left oblique strain in spring training, allowed three runs — two earned — over 6 2/3 innings in his Rockies debut.

John Axford pitched the ninth for his sixth save.
