[{'start': '2.335', 'end': '3.536', 'text': "For the Giants will be the right handed veteran Justin Verlander , Verlander, 42 years old and his 20th year at the big league level so far, still looking for his first Giants win. Bretton Doyle snapped that zero for 20 with the home run yesterday. His hit on the ground is short a to VR and that's how this game gets started. Now, the 11 pitch curveball grounded to third over to his left and chapman tried to pick it up and make the play and the ball just dropped off the edge of his glove and that'll be scored as an error on Chapman and he just kind of came up a split second too soon. Rockies have a runner aboard and here is Michael to now the runner goes, here's Bailey throw and it's in the dirt and picked it and tagged him out. Now, the wind up and Verlander's pitching and he struck it out with the Fliter at the knees. We go to the last of the first. So now kyle Freeland looking for that elusive first win of the season and he will pitch against the Giants here in the bottom of the first with Elliott Ramos leading off. There's a shot deep left center field way back there. Hurry up over the 399 ft marker. And for the second day in a row , Elliott Ramos hits a shot one to Giants this one to start the Giants night. He hasn't hit a lot of those because he hasn't hit leadoff much. In fact, that's his first career leadoff home run the way he's swinging it right now. He looks like he might be ready to go on a tear here. Now is Willie Adam really odd numbers against kyle freely for and a base hit his first ever against Freeland. Flores exemplifies most of all this giants offense in terms of clutch hitting. He's hitting just 229 but he has seven homers in the among the leaders in baseball with 28 runs batted in pitch swing and a miss good job there by kyle Freeland with a breaking ball to get his first out, a strikeout of Flores. Matt Chapman hitting cleanup. This is flipped in the center field and that's going to be a base hit two on one out with coming up. This could be two. There's a good flip for one on first out of work, the 463 to get the Rockies off the field one out for the Rockies here in the third inning. There is a California native. It is Allen Trejo that's hit deep to left. It's got a chance to go Ramos on the run. It is bouncing off the wall into second base will go Allen Trejo. He'll get a stand up one out, nearly had a home run. We might have held that up a little bit. He settles for a double Doyle has a chance to knock him in to get the Rockies tied up with the Giants and he lines to left field. It's a base hit trail being waved in up with the ball. Ramos here comes the throw home. It's cut off. Doyle comes up with an RB I single to tie the ball game here in the third at one. He is such a difference maker in this lineup. Jordan back to two popped up behind home plate. Bailey tosses the mask aside. Bailey circling and he will make a having to dive to the grass. Patrick Bailey was fighting that one as the wind pushed it around but he made the play for out number two. That was not easy. Dole running. The pitch is taken for a strike , the throw and the tag doesn't matter. He might have gotten him anyway , but it's a strikeout for Verlander gets his third strikeout of the game. Giants come up in the bottom of the third against the lefty Kyle Freeland. The pitch christian costs lines it to right field and that's a solid single on the first pitch of the inning. Here's adam who had a base hit in his first at bat two to the count. Here's the next pitch and down in went around, he couldn't hold his swing. That is strike three second strikeout for kyle, a big second out for free. And the Rockies here in the third, here's the pitch and he go around. He did, he couldn't hold his swing on a pitch down. And in, and kyle Freeland comes back and strikes out a pair and no harm is done. And that brings up Trejo, the 11 from Verlander and that balls to the left side, his second straight hit to left field. Here's dole again to center and is going to make the catch two down and here is Jordan be right. Had the hitter who's been hit the long ball lately outside the throw to first and he's out the tag by and Trejo is picked off Bailey picks off Trejo at first. Here's what it looked like spin around and they got him, Jordan be was at the plate when Trejo got picked off to end the fifth inning. So here he is again, Chapman from deep third. Perfect. Well, this is really the play that highlights the strength of a third baseman, his arm. I mean, he had to play back on this ball because of the hop high backhander, set his feet and Then unload and you've got some heat put on the play because Bec can run and that is a long throw. Not even close and the soft ground ball to third charged by chapman up with it. The throw to first two down. Chapman is going to get all three ground balls and they got them. Verlander very smart. Here in the six. First hitter is Willie Adamus, an a base hit past the diving Mcmahon and Adamus is now two for three. Here's Wilmer Flores very streaky this year and one for Wilmer on the very first road trip probably wouldn't have won as many games. He goes and a shot fair down the right line and it kicks off the wall. Here comes Adam there and the Giants take the lead. Flores comes through once again using the right side of the field and he does it in his two strike counts coming all the way around. That's not a hanger either. That's right there in the outside corner. Here's Chapman pitch. He has hit to right field racing back. Moniak still on the run makes a catch on the warning track. The runner will tag for as we get to third base right in front of the 415. Sign out there in triples alley. Nice running catch by moniak for the first out, but it was a productive hit to left hit well off the top of the wall in the second is Jastremski and it's 3 to 1 and it's a double for Yastrzemski who missed a home run by what a foot left center field 3 to 1 giants a long RB I double Verlander still in the game. The Rockies ryan Mcmahon will lead it off. It is hit to center that's pretty well struck Matos going back to the wall and it's gone. That could be the slump. Ryan Mcmahon, a solo home run to straightaway center field his third this year and cuts that giant lead to one. That ball is 400 ft hit by Ryan Mcmahon. 3 to 2 giants lead. You set a franchise record for most at bats without a hit and Then you appropriately end it with a home run that gets the Rockies to win a run up to Ramos. And that's gonna be the last pitch throw by Verlander. Was he good tonight? Yes, outstanding. Verlander will get a nice round of applause as well. The Rockies go to their bullpen for the first time. Angels will take over kyle Freeland pitch. Well, in a record setting start for him, he's now the all time leader. Most starts in the history of the Rockies starts to the right handed hitter. Christian fly ball center field is caught in front of the wall. That would have been his first big league homer and he thought he had it, we thought he had it coming right at him with a high fastball and he catches it pure and he's, and it doesn't get answered. Tyler Rogers facing down and Trejo popped up. This may be Adas and now it's Ramos coming out of nowhere. I didn't think he had a shot. I didn't think he had a shot either and he just ran it down, kept drifting away from adames and right about here he's looking for help. Yeah, with Trejo speed that have been an easy two bagger and that's a base hit to right. So now you have speed aboard in Doyle. The Rockies send up Jordan back and he is the tying run of the game and he's been hitting the long ball rather frequently. There goes Doyle big job but the balls in the dirt. So now he's in scoring position for be this ball to left. Get down, be fair. It is. And we have a tight heading to second with a double is back top of the lineup coming through here against Tyler Rogers. It's a tie game on an RB I double by Jordan Beck and a guy who the Rockies have never hit in his matchups against his hometown team have scored here in the eighth to tie it and here's the clean up and Goodman , this is to right base hit, got hesitation from take a 4 to 3 lead. Hard Goodman coming through and the Rockies not only have taken the lead, they've done it against one of the top bullpens in baseball ready Rodriguez, the new pitcher now for Bob Belvin and here comes Trejo fly out his last time up and he drives one of the right center on the move back into his right. This reaches out to the leap and makes the catch out in triples alley and he saved a run that one kind of took off on him and was going deeper than he had anticipated. And a desperation play as he started to veer back to his right and somehow with the arm fully stretched and maybe a little extra few inches, he caught it. The Giants are still alive. Bottom of the ninth rookie Zack Agnos, the right hander on to try and save it and this ball on the ground to first easy play to feeds Agnos one out, 1 to 1 and this is glove save and a glove save and a beauty, not a kick save a glove save. And that will work as a 13, just not a conventional one and the Giants down to their last out and he was just looking for the assist the hard way down and now high fly ball to right. This should do it. Moniak waiting. Moniak has got it and the Rockies for the first time this year have won two in a row. They end a 13 game road losing streak and they end a 12 game losing streak here in San Francisco. Zack Agnos two straight saves the Rockies rally beat the Giants 4 to 3."}]
