00:01And as of today, Todd Lynn Helton is a member of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
00:09This was just a few moments ago.
00:11Bob Belfin brought the lineup card out himself, and it could be that he got tossed.
00:17I don't see him in the usual captain's chair.
00:20See Christensen at the top step, so we'll find out here in a minute.
00:26I did not see the umpire signal that, but he had a nice talk there going.
00:29I don't see Bob Belfin, and I think he's out.
00:32Ryan Feltner, desperate need of a personal victory.
00:35He's pitched much better over his last seven, a sub-four ERA.
00:40Ryan Feltner against Jorge Soler.
00:43Soler to deep center field.
00:45Wow, he hit that hard.
00:46Doyle is watching it into the trees almost.
00:50What a home run to start the game for Jorge Soler.
00:54And he's got to be feeling as light as a feather right there around in those bases.
00:58It's been a rough series for him, but that right there puts a big smile on your face,
01:03and the Giants getting going early.
01:06Wow, 478 feet.
01:12Well, Alan LeBond, Wade right back up the middle with a line drive base hit.
01:16Here's Ramos.
01:17And Ramos, and that's a good pickup by Rodgers, and McCarthy was able to get to it.
01:24As Bailey drives it to left, but Hilliard's there to grab it, and in the inning.
01:29Rookie right-hander, fifth big-league start for Hayden Birdsong.
01:34Charlie Blackman will lead it off.
01:38Wade started toward the ball, then had to hustle to get back to first, and he did.
01:43And Brenton Doyle, 0-2, got him.
01:46Ryan McBand.
01:48And he just walked.
01:512-2 pitch, and a swing and a miss.
01:53Struck him out.
01:54Good curveball there from Birdsong.
01:56Ryan Feltner will start with Michael Conforto, and it's popped up.
02:00That's in his shallow right.
02:01It's a long run for Doyle.
02:02He's going to get to this, though, and make the catch.
02:05And now Yastrzemski will hit.
02:08Yastrzemski gets underneath this one.
02:10Fly ball to right, J. Cave hustling in, J. Cave making the catch.
02:14A 1-2-3 second inning for Ryan Feltner.
02:17Brendan Rodgers, the Rockies' second baseman, leads off.
02:20Birdsong's 1-2, and that one right in there for a called strike three.
02:24First time through for Jacob Stallings.
02:27Got him.
02:28Curveball for strike three, swinging.
02:30He's got four strikeouts in two scoreless innings.
02:34Tyler Fitzgerald leads off.
02:36Fitzgerald drives that one to center field.
02:38Sending Doyle back at the wall.
02:42Gone!
02:43He's done it again.
02:452-0, Giants.
02:47Hit homers.
02:48You stay in the lineup.
02:491-0 heater.
02:50Again, kind of splits the plate with it.
02:52These are some shots by the Giants so far, by Soler and Fitzgerald.
02:57This is a hanging, breaking ball.
02:59Wisley hits this to deep right center field.
03:02And the lead from that catch by Doyle.
03:05And now, Jorge Soler.
03:07Soler lines that one to left.
03:09It's not a home run, but it's another hit for Jorge Soler.
03:12Here's Elliot Ramos.
03:13This is toward right center field.
03:17And Cade coming off.
03:19He'll make the catch.
03:20Sam Hilliard at the plate.
03:22That one.
03:23It's a shallow left toward the line.
03:26Conforto over.
03:27And he'll make the catch.
03:29That'll bring up Charlie Blackman.
03:30First pitch swing.
03:32That's a gift.
03:34He's out.
03:35And Birdsong, not as many swings and misses, but a very strong inning.
03:39Right-handed hitting Matt Chapman.
03:41Hits that one.
03:42A shot.
03:43And it gets by the shortstop, Schunk.
03:47That'll be a Chapman base hit.
03:48Doyle had to hustle to get it.
03:50Mike Yastrzemski.
03:52That one lined into right field.
03:53Base hit.
03:54Cave is going to cut it off.
03:56Chapman will easily go around to third.
03:58Runners at the corners.
04:00With two down for Tyler Fitzgerald.
04:03That one gets away from the catcher.
04:05And Chapman will break for the plate and score.
04:11In the air to Hilliard and left.
04:16That'll end the inning.
04:17Brenton Doyle, a strikeout victim, first time up.
04:22Called strike three.
04:25That draws a walk yet again.
04:27That's six walks this weekend for Mack.
04:31Michael Toliot.
04:32To two, he got him again.
04:34And he went back to the curveball.
04:36Brendan was called out on strikes first time up.
04:40This ball is in here to deep left field.
04:42And it is gone.
04:45Two run, hard run, Brendan Rodgers.
04:48And it's a one run game on the first hit of the afternoon for Colorado.
04:54Seventh for Brendan Rodgers.
04:56There goes your no-hitter and your shutout.
04:59Got him with the fastball.
05:00Ninety-seven.
05:02Seven strikeouts for Birdsong.
05:04Only one hit.
05:05Wisely, then the top of the order.
05:08Now to Dodd.
05:09And play by Rodgers.
05:11Well, he can hit.
05:12He can field.
05:14Pretty good little player right there, huh?
05:17Round ball, McMahon on the backhand.
05:20McMahon across his body, out at first.
05:23Two gorgeous plays defensively for the Rockies in the inning.
05:27Jacob Stallings leading it off.
05:31And a jam shot is going to drop for Stallings.
05:35And a veteran, Charlie Blackman.
05:37Got him.
05:39Curveball for strike three.
05:41And that's the tenth strikeout of the day for Hayden Birdsong.
05:46It's Michael Conforto, the hitter.
05:50Oh, what a pickup by Tolia.
05:53Help Nask.
05:54Help Nask.
05:55Pickup by Michael Tolia.
05:57Brendan Rodgers leads off of the Rockies here.
05:59Got him.
06:00He threw the curve again for strike three swinging.
06:04Here's Michael Tolia.
06:05Two-strike pitch.
06:06Tolia went around strike three.
06:10Three, six innings, and 12 strikeouts for the 22-year-old kid.
06:16Most strikeouts by a Giants pitcher in Coors Field ever.
06:20Matt Chapman leading off.
06:23Strike three on Chapman.
06:25Here's Tyler Fitzgerald.
06:27That's ball four.
06:28High and tight.
06:30Runner going.
06:31Stallings throw on the bag.
06:34And safe.
06:35And Schoenck immediately throws his arm in the air with confidence.
06:39Says, I think I got him.
06:41Colorado's challenging the safe called second.
06:44After a view of the ball, the field is overturned.
06:45The runner is out.
06:46Ryan Walker is the new Giants pitcher in the bottom of the seventh.
06:51What a stab by Chapman.
06:54And he robs Rodgers of a base hit.
06:57Wow.
06:57What a great play.
06:59Jake Cave, the hitter now.
07:01And this is in the air to center.
07:04And it's going to drop and it kicks behind Ramos.
07:07On his way to second.
07:09And pausing there is Jake Cave.
07:12Well, it's getting late.
07:14It's Jake Cave time again.
07:16One out.
07:17The tied run in scoring position.
07:19Two-two.
07:21Strike three called.
07:22Here's Hilliard.
07:23And he drives it out to center.
07:25Ramos on the move.
07:27We'll track it down.
07:28Three-to-two the score.
07:29And Camilo Doval comes in.
07:31Tolio's got big power.
07:32Two.
07:34Got him with the slider.
07:36Here's Brendan Rodgers.
07:39Got him with the slider.
07:40Look, he kind of did it again.
07:42Yeah.
07:42Brings up Jake Cave.
07:45That's ball fourth.
07:46Potential tying run.
07:48And Jacob Stallings will hit.
07:50Oh, huge jump.
07:53Cave had a running start.
07:55Two-two.
07:56On the ground.
07:57Softly hit.
07:58Chapman charges.
08:00Chapman got him.
08:01And the Giants find a way to get a win.
