Hot Rockies sweep doubleheader from Giants, win fifth straight game

The Rockies’ postseason dream ended months ago, but that doesn’t mean they can’t spoil other teams’ dreams.

Just ask the Giants.

They arrived at Coors Field with designs of making a big move in the National League wild-card hunt. And why not? Entering the four-game series, the Giants were 16-1 vs. Colorado dating back to last August.

But the Rockies didn’t roll over.

They swept Saturday’s doubleheader, winning the nightcap 5-2 after taking the first game, 9-5, leaving San Francisco 2 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot with 13 games remaining.

The Rockies swept the Giants in a doubleheader for the first time in franchise history, and it was their first doubleheader sweep overall since Aug.
