Ubaldo Jimenez did everything he could to get the Rockies a win, throwing seven three hit innings. The Rockies bullpen could not finish the job he started, falling in the 10th inning to the Giants.
The Giants did not score off Jimenez, they broke through with two runs to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning. Brian Fuentes was charged with a blown save after giving up both runs off three hits. Omar Vizquel and Brian Holm each had an double in the inning off Fuentes to take the game to extras. Holm had an RBI on his pinch hit double.
In the tenth, Ray Durham led off with a single then Matt Herges walked Rich Aurilia. The run eventually scored on a sac fly by Vizquel.
The Rockies had two hits from Willy Tavares, Matt Holliday, and Ryan Spilborghs. Jonathon Sanchez was solid for the Giants on the hill, allowing just eight hits over 6.1 innings. He surrendered just two runs, both earned. He also struck out five.
Tyler Walker picked up the win while Brian Wilson earned his 14th save of the year.
