Zach Agnos<\/a> in a seven-run fifth inning. It was the sixth career grand slam for Adames.\n<\/p>\nThe Rockies (22-38) entered the game with two things on the line. First, had they beaten the Giants (23-36), they would have escaped last place in the National League West and planted San Francisco in the cellar. Second, Colorado was looking for its first sweep of the Giants since Sept. 3-5, 2018, at Coors.\n<\/p>\n
No dice. The Giants were aggressive from the outset and kept piling on. The 25 hits were their most since pounding out 27 against the Rockies on Sept. 1, 2020, at Coors Field<\/p>\n
\u201cThey came out ready to hit today,\u201d Colorado manager Warren Schaeffer said. \u201cIt was just a bad game. You have those every now and then. You take winning the series.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colorado starter Tanner Gordon pitched three-plus innings, giving up four runs on six hits. Agnos was tagged for seven runs on seven hits, and his ERA soared to 7.78. Juan Mejia gave up three runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning. Keegan Thompson was ripped for three runs on four hits in two innings. You get the idea.<\/p>\n
And, for the fourth time in the last 12 games, catcher Brett Sullivan \u2014 Colorado\u2019s human white flag \u2014 was called on to pitch in relief. In 1 1\/3 innings, he gave up two runs on five hits, including a two-run homer to Jesus Rodriguez in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Gordon got the hook in the fourth inning after allowing the first two batters to reach. At that point, he had already thrown 75 pitches.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got to set the tone for the game, and just a little sloppy in the beginning, just wasn\u2019t getting ahead of guys,\u201d said Gordon, who was coming off a solid start in Los Angeles when he was charged with one run on six hits over five innings.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Today) I was basically the complete opposite of what happened last time,\u201d he added. \u201cI mean, it was super efficient, and it just wasn\u2019t today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s game was not for baseball purists. It took 3 hours and 38 minutes to complete. There were six errors committed (three on each side), 396 pitches (108 in the first two innings) and 98 foul balls.<\/p>\n
