FINAL: Giants 4, Rockies 0
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Colorado starter Tyler Chatwood dug himself an early hole against the Giants and now the Rockies' lead for the second NL wild card is in jeopardy after a 4-0 loss to last-place San Francisco on Wednesday, the club's third straight defeat.
Joe Panik hit a one-out triple in the first off Chatwood (8-13) and immediately scored on Denard Span's sacrifice fly, then Panik doubled in the third and came home on Buster Posey's sacrifice fly.
The Rockies' wild-card advantage had been trimmed to one game by the Brewers to begin the day. Milwaukee was playing a night game at Pittsburgh.
Brandon Crawford hit a solo homer in the third to back Matt Moore (6-14), who earned his first win against Colorado after going 0-2 over his first three outings of the year.
