DENVER — Nolan Arenado hit his first homer of the season to ignite a five-run sixth inning and the Colorado Rockies matched their best start in franchise history by holding on for a 7-6 win over the San Francisco Giants.
The Rockies are 7-2 for the fifth time in team history.
They also had that mark in 1995, ’97, 2011 and ’15.
It was a nerve-wracking ninth as the Giants scored two runs before newly appointed closer Jairo Diaz got the final out to earn his second save.
