Dominic Leone (4-4) pitched two-thirds of an inning of relief and Zack Littell got the final three outs for his first save.
Randal Grichuk homered among his two hits, Brian Serven and Elehuris Montero also went deep and Ryan McMahon, Sam Hilliard and Charlie Blackmon had two hits each for Colorado.

The Giants took a 2-0 lead in the second. Longoria doubled, Thairo Estrada reached on an error, Brandon Crawford drove in Longoria with a single and Wynns singled to left to bring home Estrada.
It stayed that way until the fifth inning when Colorado got to starter Jakob Junis. Hilliard singled to right and Serven hit his sixth homer to left to tie it at 2-2.
San Francisco broke the tie in the seventh inning. Mike Yastrzemski led off with a single, Austin Slater doubled and J.D. Davis walked to load the bases.

Freeland allowed six runs -- five earned -- and seven hits. He struck out five and walked three in 6 1/3 innings.

The Rockies struck again in the eighth. McMahon doubled, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Blackmon's single. Grichuk then homered to center, his 13th, to tie it at 6.
