DENVER — Thairo Estrada and Joc Pederson each had two hits in a 10-hit sixth inning in which San Francisco opened a nine-run lead. The Giants held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 11-10 this Sunday and stop a slide of three losses in a row that hurt their chances of getting a wild card.
San Francisco took a 9-0 lead in the sixth inning before Colorado closed it out. After scoring four times in the ninth, the Rockies had runners on second and third with two outs when pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon hit a soft liner to Estrada at second.

Mitch Haniger put the Giants ahead with a productive double in the fifth off Chris Flexen (1-8), and Pederson’s double in the sixth made it a 2-0 game. Haniger’s double drove in two more, and Brandon Crawford hit a three-run homer off Matt Koch.
Sean Manea (6-6) made his second start since May 10, allowing three runs – two earned – and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
