It may have been the weirdest way to win a game for the San Francisco Giants to win a game this season, but in the end, it dies not really matter.

Ryan Vogelsong pitched six scoreless innings, as the Giants hung on for a hard fought 11-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies on a rain-soaked evening at Coors Field.

Vogelsong gave up just two hits, as the Giants extended their scoreless inning streak up to 34 innings.

The streak came to an end when George Kontos gave up a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to D.J. LeMahieu.

Thirty-four innings scoreless innings is the sixth-longest streak in team history, coming four innings shy of the team record of 38.

Brandon Belt hit his fourth home run in the last seven games, a two-run home run that was measured at 475 feet and landed in the third deck.

Since the opening of Coors Field in 1995, the Belt home run is just the 34th home run to land in the third deck.

Matt Duffy added a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning, as the Giants stretched their lead up to 11-4 and then the bottom of the ninth inning showed up.

Jeremy Affeldt gave up three straight singles to begin the inning, and that is where the one hour 44-minute rain delay began. After the end of the delay, two more hits and it was 11-7 before you blinked.

Seeing enough, Bruce Bochy called on closer Santiago Casilla, who retired the first two batters and then Ben Paulsen extended the game to cut the Giants lead down to just three.
Casilla ended the game, as he struck out Nick Hundley for his 11th save of the season.

Kyle Kendrick saw his record fall to 1-6 on the season, as he last won in the season opener against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 6. In 6.1 innings of work, Kendrick walked three and struck out four.

Buster Posey picked up a single and a double on the night, as he extended his hitting streak up to 14 games.

With the victory, the Giants extend their winning streak up to seven games and remain a game and a half behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
