The San Francisco Giants came to Colorado on a little roll.
They're heading out with a collective limp and a pivotal division matchup up next.
Matt Cain struggled during a nine-run fifth inning, and the Rockies beat the Giants 11-6 on Thursday.
Cain allowed six runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings, and Colorado scored three more runs off Chris Heston. The nine runs were the Rockies' most in one inning against San Francisco.
Cain's rough outing may not be the worst of it, either, before San Francisco travels to Los Angeles for a weekend series with the Dodgers.
