Chapman, Soler each get 3 hits as Giants beat Rockies 5-4 to complete 4-game sweep

Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler each had three hits, and the San Francisco Giants finished off a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 5-4 victory Sunday.

It was San Francisco's first four-game sweep since 2022. The Giants have beaten Colorado 12 straight times at home, tying a Rockies record for most consecutive losses at any opposing ballpark.

Trailing 5-3 heading into the ninth inning, the Rockies scored once and had the potential tying run at second base with one out against closer Camilo Doval. But then Sam Hilliard struck out and Ezequiel Tovar — who had three hits — grounded out to give Doval his 20th save.

Casey Schmitt hit a solo homer in the first to put the Giants ahead. In the second, Derek Hill had an RBI triple and Soler drove him in with a double to make it 3-0.

Chapman’s two-run single with two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth gave the Giants a 5-2 lead.

San Francisco used six pitchers in a bullpen game, including Jordan Hicks, who transitioned to the 'pen on Sunday after spending the first half of the season in the starting rotation. Hicks entered in the sixth and allowed two runs in two innings. Randy Rodríguez (3-1) permitted one run in three innings for the win.

Colorado loaded the bases in the eighth with two outs but Spencer Bivens got Brendan Rodgers to ground out.

Michael Toglia homered, and Charlie Blackmon and Hunter Goodman each had an RBI single for the Rockies. Tovar extended his hitting streak to 15 games, tying a career high.

Colorado center fielder Brenton Doyle exited after catching a flyball to end the second inning. Austin Gomber (2-7) pitched into the fourth, allowing three runs.
