DENVER — San Francisco's playoff chances were damaged when the Colorado Rockies swept the Giants 9-5 and 5-2 in a day-night doubleheader, taking advantage of seven walks in the opener and two errors and a pair of wild pitches in the nightcap. The Giants (75-74) fell 2 1/2 games behind Cincinnati Arizona, who are tied for the last NL wild card, also trailing Miami. San Francisco, which wasted a 3-0 lead in the opener, had won 16 of 17 against Colorado dating to Aug. 21 last year but dropped the first three of a four-game series. Ezequiel Tovar had five hits and five RBIs.
