John Elway, who was in attendance as well as John Denver said this was the best Rockies game he's seen. Francis just blew through the Giants' lineup, throwing Elway like bullets, striking out ten in eight innings before giving way to Marcos Carvajal to close out the twelve to nothing victory. Todd helton homered twice and Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe each added another to lead the offensive charge as Rockies' hitters were getting on base all day by staying patient at the plate.
Something tells me I might have to recant this with a little editing when I get back.
