Chatwood leads Rockies to 5-2 win over sizzling Giants

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood hurled seven masterful innings to beat the division-leading Giants on Friday.

DENVER – Tyler Chatwood threw seven masterful innings, Charlie Blackmon had one of Colorado’s three run-scoring doubles and the Rockies beat San Francisco 5-2 on Friday night to end the Giants’ 10-game winning streak against NL West teams.

It was San Francisco’s longest streak versus the division since capturing 10 straight in August 1982.

Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story had RBI doubles in a game that was delayed 42 minutes at the start by weather.

San Francisco starter Matt Cain left in the second inning with a strained right hamstring. He was replaced by Albert Suarez (1-1), who took a grounder off the left leg in the third but stayed in the game.

Chatwood (6-3) found success at Coors Field after being so dominant on the road. He scattered four hits, walked none and allowed one unearned run.
