A Tough Night in San Francisco for Rockies Fans 
It was a disheartening night for the Colorado Rockies as they got shut out in a 5-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Despite a valiant effort from our guys, the Giants simply had the upper hand from start to finish.Early Struggles
The game started with some promise when Charlie Blackmon singled to left, but our momentum was short-lived. Brenton Doyle attempted to capitalize on the situation by stealing second, but it wasn't enough as Ryan McMahon struck out to end the inning. The Giants quickly established control in the bottom half, with Mike Yastrzemski tripling to bring in Jorge Soler for the first run.Missed Opportunities
We had runners in position multiple times but couldn't drive them home. The second inning saw Michael Toglia walk, but Elias Díaz struck out to leave him stranded. Later in the fourth inning, Brendan Rodgers and Jake Cave managed to get on base, but a strikeout from Toglia dashed our hopes.Giants Continue to Extend Their Lead
The Giants added more to their tally in the fifth inning, sending Curt Casali home on a sacrifice fly from Yastrzemski. With Heliot Ramos then singling to bring in Soler, the Rockies were down 4-0. A solo home run from Tyler Fitzgerald in the eighth inning sealed our fate despite some good relief pitching.Rockies Go Down Swinging
Our boys never stopped fighting. Sam Hilliard walked and advanced to third on a wild pitch in the fifth inning but was left stranded. In the ninth, Rodgers singled to left, giving us a glimmer of hope, but Jake Cave's flyout ended our night.Final Thoughts
Despite the loss, there were some positives to take. The team showed flashes of brilliance, and pitchers managed to hold the Giants scoreless in several innings. Let's hope we can bounce back in our next game. Keep your heads up, Rockies fans!
