AT&T Park was mostly empty in the top of the ninth inning Friday night when the hardy few fans who stayed through a stinker of game for the Giants started a "Let's Go Giants" chant. The players in the orange tops showed their appreciation another way, tying the game with a three-run rally that began with two outs in the ninth and sent the game into extra innings. The crowning blow was Conor Gillaspie's pinch two-run homer, his first of the year. A smaller but just as enthusiastic group saw the Giants lose anyway, 12-9, when three straight Padres (Matt Szczur, Jose Pierla and Carlos Asuaje) drove in runs with their fourth hits of the game. Manager Bruce Bochy does not enjoy walking into the interview room after the Giants score nine runs, which sometimes amounts to two series worth of production, and talk about a loss. Wil Myers broke a 6-6 tie in the seventh with a homer off Hunter Strickland, who allowed two more in the eighth after allowing consecutive triples to start the inning. Brandon Crawford's second RBI single scored Posey, and Gillaspie sent a slider high and deep into the night to tie it 9-9. Bochy said before the game he wanted to stay away from Kontos, but he tried to squeeze an inning from the right-hander before going to his long man, Kyle Crick, the last reliever left. Play momentarily was stopped in extra innings when an aggressive flock of seagulls commandeered the air space over the outfield and had Denard Span, who has a fear of birds, running several steps to safety. Sanchez hit his fourth homer of the year against the Giants, an RBI double and a single. Since 2015, his final year in San Francisco, he is hitting 11-for-22 with five homers and 13 RBIs against the Giants. Brandon Belt flipped a single to right-center, his first hit in 10 at-bats, to score Span. Crawford's single became a de facto triple when right fielder Hunter Renfroe bounced a throw past third base, and he scored for a 4-0 lead when Hunter Pence pulled a double to left. Cahill's bases-loaded wild pitch in the fourth gave the Giants their third four-run lead, at 6-2,. Sanchez hit a hanging breaking pitch just over third base and near the chalk to score Asuaje and trim the Giants' lead to 6-4. In this his case, Cory Gearrin walked reliever Craig Stammen with one out in the sixth inning and Asuaje made it 6-6 with a two-out single to right.

    The Rockies found misery again in their first extra-inning game of the season. Philadelphia walked off Colorado, 2-1, in the series opener at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night, dropping the Rockies to 4-13 on the year. The Rockies couldn’t solve ace Aaron Nola, and then came up short in a pair of opportunities to score in the ninth and 10th innings before Cristian Pache’s single lifted Philadelphia to the victory. “Whoever came out on the short end of this one, it was going to be a tough one,” Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters.
