The Giants could not touch Rockies starter Tyler Anderson after Eduardo Nuñez's third-inning homer, until the eighth, when Gorkys Hernandez and Trevor Brown singled to lead off the inning. Anderson was lifted after allowing a sacrifice bunt to pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza, and Nuñez grounded out to shortstop against reliever Jordan Lyles to score Hernandez.
With the win, the Giants kept their lead over the Cardinals for the top National League Wild Card spot at a half-game.
