Wade's 3-run homer leads Giants to fifth straight win

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a three-run homer in the fourth, pitcher Logan Webb added a two-run single moments earlier to help his winning cause, and the MLB-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 7-0 on Thursday night for their fifth straight win and seventh in eight games.

Alex Dickerson hit an RBI double in the second and Curt Casali doubled in a run to start the six-run fourth for San Francisco, which owns the top record in the big leagues at 74-41. The Giants have the club's best record through 115 games since the 1993 team was 77-38 at this stage on the way to 103 wins in Dusty Baker's first season as manager.

Webb (6-3) struck out eight over six scoreless innings and allowed three hits for his fifth straight victory since losing at Colorado on May 5. He was backed by a pair of double plays in the first and second innings.

Four players had two strikeouts for Colorado, which had just been outscored 10-1 in two games at Houston on the heels of a 5-1 homestand. The Rockies were shut out for the second time in three games and a majors-leading 15th time total, all on the road — held to five or fewer hits in 14 of those. They lost 5-0 at Houston on Tuesday.

Rockies starter Germán Márquez (10-9) was tagged for seven runs on seven hits over four innings and had his two-start winning streak snapped. He struck out six and walked two while matching his second-shortest outing of 2021.

ROAD WOES

Colorado is 13-43 on the road, lowest winning percentage away from home in baseball.

The Rockies dropped to 1-6 at Oracle Park this season and 7-14 in the Giants' waterfront ballpark since 2019.
