José Ureña’s solid start was supplemented by an offensive explosion that the Rockies have sorely needed in recent days. That lifted the home team over the visiting Giants 7-4 and gave them the win on Friday evening.
Bombs away!
Alex Wood must absolutely despise coming to Coors. He felt the mile high elevation come into play on Friday, initially in the second inning. That frame saw Randal Grichuk reach base on a leadoff single and be brought home on Elehuris Montero’s 429-foot blast. His second home run of the season, and first at Coors Field, put Colorado in an early 2-0 advantage.
