Rockies Sneak Past Giants

Nolan Arenado's home run lifted the Rockies past the Giants 2-1.Tags: MLB, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, Nolan Arenado, Hunter Pence, Troy Tulowitzki, Highlights

DENVER -- Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead homer leading off the fifth and Franklin Morales outdueled Madison Bumgarner, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Troy Tulowitzki also added a solo shot for the Rockies, who have hit seven homers in two nights against the Giants.
Morales (2-1) was masterful on the mound as he allowed five hits over seven innings, which matches the longest outing of his career. The left-hander's only mistake was a hanging slider to Hunter Pence in the fifth. It was Pence's second homer of the season.
LaTroy Hawkins got the final two outs in a rocky ninth for his sixth save in as many chances.

Research Notes

Hunter Pence has a .634 slugging percentage in at-bats to end in a pitch in the upper third of the zone or above since the start of last season, fourth highest among qualified hitters. Franklin Morales has thrown 36 percent of his pitches in that zone this season, well above the league average of 27 percent.

Interesting note with Shields, Wainwright and Bumgarner all pitching on the road tonight...   [+]
