SF Giants’ 8-6 win puts them on cusp of sweeping Rockies to cap road trip

A second straight victory in Colorado has the Giants on the brink of sweeping their first series of the season.

Beating the woeful Rockies again Thursday would be a welcome way to end this 10-game road trip which the Giants started by anemically losing the first two of three in Boston before getting swept in a four-game visit to Philadelphia.

Michael Conforto got Wednesday night’s 8-6 win started by opening the second inning with a first-pitch home run into Coors Field’s right-field seats.
