Webb, Yastrzemski, Duggar power Giants past Rockies 12-3

DENVER (AP) — Logan Webb pitched effectively for seven innings, Mike Yastrzemski homered and Steve Duggar had two triples among his three hits as the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 12-3 Tuesday night.

Brandon Crawford added three hits and an RBI. All of Duggar’s hits went for extra bases and he drove in three runs. Yastrzemski added a run-scoring single in the ninth, finishing with three RBIs and helping San Francisco to its fifth win in six games.

Colorado got on the board in the bottom of the fourth on Cron’s run-scoring double. The Giants countered with three runs in the top of the fifth on Duggar’s bases-loaded triple. Evan Longoria had a run-scoring fielder’s choice ahead of Yastrzemski’s homer off Julian Fernandez.
