Trailing by two in ninth, the Giants forced extra innings where Thairo Estrada hit a clutch three-run homer to give San Francisco an unlikely win over the Rockies.
Jakob Junis was a revelation early on and it seemed like there would be no drop-off when he took over for the injured Anthony DeSclafani. But the second half has not been kind to Junis, who signed in March as depth for the rotation.
After posting a 3.06 ERA in the first half, Junis entered this night with a 5.29 ERA in 10 appearances since the All-Star break, with opposing hitters batting .284 off him. The Rockies made sure those numbers kept going in the wrong direction. Junis was charged with six runs -- five of them earned -- in 4 1/3 innings. He faced 27 batters and allowed 12 hits, a career-high.Every hitter loves Coors Field, but few embrace it like Mike Yastrzemski. His career took off in 2019 when he had a huge series in Denver and he hasn't stopped crushing Rockies pitchers since that series.
