SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Betancourt threw his head back and glanced a "Why?" look at the sky. He stumbled backward off the mound like a poker player just beat him with a gut-shot straight draw.
Against the Giants, next to Willie McCovey's Cove, your luck can swing that quick.
Betancourt, a 40-year-old veteran member of the Rockies' bullpen, faced 25-year-old catcher Andrew Susac for the first time Saturday. In a 1-1 count, Betancourt threw him a fastball.
And Susac lined it inches inside the third-base line for a game-deciding, three-run double to left field in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift the Giants to a 7-5 victory over the Rockies in front of 41,476 at AT&T Park.
