The San Francisco Giants collapsed in their series opener against the Colorado Rockies on Friday in an 8-6 loss.

Here were the events, in order, that contributed to another brutal game for San Francisco:

A Productive Third and Fourth

After Giants right-hander Logan Webb struck out the first two batters he faced in the second inning, early trouble started to occur.

Webb allowed a walk before he proceeded to give up a single that put runners on first and third base for the Rockies. With runners on the corners, Colorado made a bold move.

The Rockies’ base runners attempted a double steal that successfully brought a run across home plate for Colorado to give it an early 1-0 lead after the Giants were on the precipice of getting out of the inning. Heading into the third inning, San Francisco had work to do.

In the third, Bryce Eldridge hit a leadoff double to spark momentum for the Giants. Flyouts by Harrison Bader and Willy Adames eventually brought Eldridge across home plate to tie the game.

In the fourth, following a drawn walk by Rafael Devers and a forceout that put Matt Chapman on first base, Jung Hoo Lee delivered a line-drive single to right field to advance Chapman to third base. Then, a sacrifice fly by Daniel Susac brought Chapman home to score the first run of the inning and give the advantage to the Giants.

After Eldridge walked, Bader hit an RBI single to right field to bring Lee home and make it a 3-1 game.

After Eldridge delivered a sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth to score Lee, it looked as if San Francisco was in a comfortable spot with a 4-1 lead. Then, Colorado punched back.

In the top of the eighth, Colorado’s Troy Johnston hit a leadoff single off Keaton Winn, San Francisco’s fourth reliever of the night. That single was followed up by a two-run home run by Ezequiel Tovar to cut the score to 4-3.

However, the Giants answered.

WIth two outs, Rafael Devers tripled to right field in the top of the ninth inning that scored Luis Arraez. His triple was backed up by a single off the bat of Chapman to get him across home plate and make it a 6-3 game for added insurance.

With a three-run lead back in their favor, the Giants turned to right-hander Caleb Kilian to close the game, and that is when disaster struck.

After back-to-back singles prompted a mound visit for Kilian, he was able to notch an out before giving up a three-run home run to Hunter Goodman that made it a tie game. Then, Tovar homered again. This time, it was a two-run walk-off shot.

Now losers of four games in a row and owners of a 22-35 record, the woes continue for the Giants.
