DENVER (AP) --- Willy Adames hit a grand slam to cap a seven-run fifth inning,
and the San Francisco Giants avoided a series sweep with a 19-6 win over the
Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
Jung Hoo Lee had two of his career-high five hits in the fifth, when San
Francisco broke it open to end a six-game skid. Bryce Eldridge also homered,
doubled twice and singled, and Rafael Devers had three doubles, a single and
scored four runs.
Jess Rodrguez also went deep for the Giants, who set season highs for runs,
hits (25) and extra-base hits (13).
Robbie Ray needed 96 pitches to get through four innings, falling short of his
first win since May 8. Caleb Killian (2-3) got the victory with an inning of
relief.
San Francisco built a 4-3 lead against starter Tanner Gordon (0-1) before
opening it up against reliever Zach Agnos in the fifth, with most of the damage
coming with two outs.
With the Giants leading 5-3, Drew Gilbert had an RBI triple, Casey Schmitt
drove in a run with one of his three hits, Devers' double put two runners on,
and Agnos intentionally walked Luis Arraez.
Adames drove a 3-2 fastball into the left-field seats for his sixth career slam.
The Giants added a run in the sixth, two in the seventh and three in the eighth.
San Francisco reliever Joel Peguero left in the bottom of the eighth after
getting injured on Tyler Freeman's infield single.
Colorado native Jonah Cox, called up from Double-A before the game, made his
major league debut as a pinch runner in the eighth and doubled in the ninth for
San Francisco.

Giants: RHP Landen Roupp (5-5, 3.30 ERA) opens a four-game series in Milwaukee
on Monday night.
Rockies: LHP Kyle Freeland (1-6, 8.08) faces the Angels on Monday night to
begin a three-game series at Los Angeles.
