Hunter Goodman and Ezequiel Tovar homered in a five-run ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies rallied to stun the San Francisco Giants 8-6 in Denver on Friday.
Willi Castro, Jake McCarthy, Tyler Freeman, Goodman and Tovar had two hits each and Juan Mejia (1-4) got the win for Colorado, which snapped a five-game skid with the dramatic victory.
The Rockies trailed 6-3 when McCarthy and Freeman opened the ninth with singles off Caleb Killian (1-3). TJ Rumfield flied out before Goodman crushed a home run just inside the left field foul pole to tie the game.
Castro's two-single kept the inning alive, and Tovar ended it with his second homer of the game and fourth of the season.
Jung Hoo Lee had four hits and scored twice while Luis Arraez and Rafael Devers had two hits each for San Francisco, which has dropped four in a row.
San Francisco's Logan Webb made his first start since May 5 and lasted 4 1/3 innings. He allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five in his return from right knee bursitis.
Lee, who was activated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a mid-back strain, contributed two run-saving catches. He made a running catch of Kyle Karros' liner at the right field wall to end the fourth and then a sliding catch of Troy Johnston's sinking liner to end the fifth.
The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the second when Tovar came home on a double steal, with Edouard Julien swiping second.
San Francisco tied it in the third on Willy Adames' sacrifice fly and then went ahead in the fourth on a sacrifice fly from Daniel Susac and an RBI single from Harrison Bader.
That was all for Colorado starter Michael Lorenzen, who allowed three runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out two.
The Giants padded the lead in the eighth when Lee led off with a double, went to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Bryce Eldridge's sacrifice fly.
Tovar hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. San Francisco answered with two in the ninth, on Devers' RBI triple and Matt Chapman's run-scoring single, to make it 6-3.
