The Giants displayed a horrid defensive effort in the 1st allowing 5 runs (2 earned) off of 7 errors (believe it or not, The Giants went on to play 8 clean defensive innings from there) laying up a 4 run lead for The Rockies after 1.

The Rockies tacked on another run in the 4th making it a 6-1 ballgame until The Giants put up a 5 spot of their own in the top half of the 5th to make it a 6-6 game.

The Giants went down quietly in their half of the 6th, but The Rockies went back ahead 7-6 off of a bases-empty, 2-out rally in the bottom half of the inning.

The Giants then manufactured a run off of a Gerry Leung lead off walk in the 7th to tie the game 7-7, and that's where it stayed until the top half of the 9th when Gerry Leung decided to blast a homerun over the left field wall putting The Giants ahead 8-7. Mark Infurna (5-0) pitched a clean 9th to preserve the win for the Giants while earning his league leading 5th win.
