SAN FRANCISCO–LaMonte Wade is having quite a month and Thursday night was no exception as Wade contributed to a big bang offense for the San Francisco Giants (74-41) with a fourth inning home run six run fourth inning as the Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies (51-64) 7-0.

The Giants have been pouring it on of late the win was San Francisco’s fifth straight and their seventh out of their last eight games. This was just the first game to open the three game series against the Rockies after coming off a two game sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Giants pitcher Logan Webb helped his own cause with a bases loaded two RBI single. Webb said that his teammates keep telling him that he’ll hit one out someday just hit the weight room. Webb’s battery mate Curt Casali said that it’s nice to see pitchers get a hit and help their own cause. Webb is feeling it when he puts the bat through the ball and he’ll look to take more BP and maybe he’ll get that big fly sometime this season.

Alex Dickerson belted an RBI double in the second inning and Casali also hit a double that began the six run rally in the bottom of the fourth. The Giants are now a whopping 33 games over .500 and have the best record in baseball. The Giants are on a path to win 103 games the same amount of wins that the 1993 Dusty Baker team had. That Giant team was 77-38. It really speaks to the fine managerial job that manager Gabe Kapler has done in San Francisco.

For Webb he improved his win-loss record (6-3) striking out eight over six innings of shutout ball. Webb gave up only three hits and he has now won five straight games. Webb hasn’t loss a game since May 5 against these same Colorado Rockies. His teammates played well behind him turning two doubles in each of the first and second innings.

The Rockies and Giants continue the four game series with game two on Friday night at Oracle starting pitcher for the Rockies Austin Gomber (9-6 ERA 3.79) and for the Giants Anthony DeSclafani (10-5 ERA 3.28) a 6:45 pm (PDT)
