The San Francisco Giants blow chance to enter weekend series vs. Dodgers tied for first in the NL West after a late collapse vs. the Rockies.

Mike Yastrzemski’s two-run double in the eighth inning keyed another San Francisco rally, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7 for their seventh straight victory.

Colorado held a 5-2 lead over the Giants going into the ninth in the series opener on Tuesday at Coors Field. Up to that point, they had timely hitting, got a decent start from Carson Palmquist, and the bullpen had been flawless. Then came the punch line as the Rockies remain on pace to be the worst team in modern baseball history.

Orlando Arcia hit a two-run, single with two outs in the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 8-7 to snap a five-game losing streak.

Opposing Márquez is Bryce Elder (2-3, 4.08 ERA), making his 11th start of the season. Elder, a ground ball pitcher with excellent offspeed stuff, profiles as a tough matchup for Colorado’s offense, especially on the heels of a one-run, eight-inning masterclass against the San Francisco Giants.

Then came the Rockies’ wild, 8-7 walk-off win over the Giants on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field. Orlando Arcia’s bases-loaded, two-run single to left off Giants reliever Randy Rodriguez was the abracadabra moment.

Manager Bob Melvin said “there’s a chance” Verlander returns from the 15-day injured list during San Francisco’s upcoming nine-game home stand against the Cleveland Guardians, Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins. Verlander threw a live bullpen during the Giants’ previous series against the Colorado Rockies in Denver.

The Colorado Rockies got a win on Thursday and avoided reaching a new low and setting the record for the worst start in the modern era.
