SAN FRANCISCO-After the first inning and half, things looked bleak for the San Francisco Giants, but then the Giants offense took off.

Brandon Crawford hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the second inning, and in the bottom of the fifth inning, Denard Span reached on a bunt single, then Matt Duffy tripled him in.

After a Buster Posey ground out, Brandon Belt walked, then Hunter Pence hit a single to score Duffy and the Giants would go on to defeat the Colorado Rockies 6-4 before a crowd of 41,358, the 424th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.

This was the third come-from-behind win of the season when trailing by four or more runs. With the last one coming on April 10 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, when then trailed 5-0 and came back to win 9-6.

The Rockies jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the second inning, Nolan Arenado doubled to lead off the inning, then Mark Reynolds singled him in. Following the Reynolds single, then Ryan Raburn singled and then Gerardo Parra hit what looked like a simple ground ball to Joe Panik, but his throw went into left to allow Reynolds to score and Raburn to go to third.

Dustin Garneau then hit a sacrifice fly to Pence to score Raburn, and then following the Garneau sacrifice fly, Chad Bettis then helped out his own cause, a he reached on a sacrifice bunt to score Parra to give the Rockies a 4-0 lead one day after scoring 17 runs in their 17-7 victory over the Giants.

Despite the four runs he allowed in the fourth inning, Madison Bumgarner settled down, as he went 7.1 innings, allowing those four runs on seven hits, while walking just one and striking out a season high 10.

It was the 26th time in Bumgarner’s career that he hit double figures in strikeouts, and the first in 2016. The last time Bumgarner topped the double plateau in strikeouts came on August 27, 2015 versus the Chicago Cubs at AT&T Park.

Pence went 3-for-4 at the plate, while Brandon Belt went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a run batted in. Belt has now reached base in his last 14 games either via a hit or walk and in his last 11 games, Belt has walked 14 times.

Pettis went six innings, allowing five runs on eight hits, walking three and striking out four.

Arenado picked up two hits in four at-bats, as he now batting .368 (14-for-38) with 14 runs scored, seven home runs and 17 runs batted in his last 10 games at AT&T Park.

Reynolds also continues to tee off against Giants pitching, as he went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI and is now hitting .533 (8-for-15) with five runs, three doubles and six runs batted in during the four games he has played against the Giants this season.
