SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Kyle Karros hit a broken-bat, two-run single during a three-run ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Rockies trailed 2-1 when Mickey Moniak opened the ninth with a single off Caleb Kilian (2-5), who then walked pinch-hitter Troy Johnston.<\/p>\n

Jake McCarthy followed with a bunt single to load the bases, setting up Karros for a base hit to center that brought home Moniak and Johnston. McCarthy moved to third and Kilian departed in favor of lefty Erik Miller.<\/p>\n

Cole Carrigg greeted Miller with a sacrifice fly to left to bring home McCarthy and make it 4-2.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the ninth, the Giants got a sacrifice fly from Rafael Devers off Jordan Romano to make it 4-3. Romano then walked Willy Adames to load the bases with two outs.<\/p>\n

Juan Mejia replaced Romano and got Bryce Eldridge to ground out to second to end the game. Mejia earned his fourth save.<\/p>\n

Antonio Senzatela (9-1) worked a perfect eighth inning to pick up the win.<\/p>\n

Devers drove in all of the Giants’ runs.<\/p>\n

San Francisco grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second when Devers took Tanner Gordon deep to right. It was Devers\u2019 19th home run of the season. He hit two off Gordon in the Rockies\u2019 7-6 win over the Giants in Denver on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Devers gave the Giants a 2-1 lead with an RBI single with two outs in the seventh.<\/p>\n

The Rockies tied it 1-1 in the fifth on consecutive two-out doubles by Ezequiel Tovar and McCarthy.<\/p>\n

The Giants had won in each of starter Robbie Ray\u2019s previous eight outings and had won 19 of their previous 20 home games against Colorado.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colorado LHP Kyle Freeland (2-7, 7.46 ERA) faces San Francisco RHP Tyler Mahle (1-8, 5.70) on Saturday.<\/p>\n
