The San Francisco Giants powered past the Colorado Rockies 8-2 on Tuesday, hitting three home runs to win the opening game of a four-game series at Oracle Park. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for San Francisco, which out-hit Colorado 13-5. Yardbarker reported the Giants looked dominant from early on.
The biggest highlight came from rookie Bryce Eldridge, who launched the first splash hit of the season — a home run that cleared the right-field wall and landed in San Francisco Bay. It was a sign of things to come for a Giants offense that did not let up.
Eldridge Splash Hit Sparks Giants Offensive Explosion
Bryce Eldridge made history with the Giants' first Bay-splashing home run of the 2025 season. The rookie drove the ball over the right-field wall and into McCovey Cove, a rare feat that excites fans at Oracle Park. It was a moment that set the tone for the night, according to Mod Bee.
Eldridge was not alone. Third baseman Casey Schmitt followed with a home run of his own. Shortstop Willy Adames also went deep. The Giants hit three home runs in total on the night. San Francisco finished with 13 hits, giving the lineup a complete performance from top to bottom.
Whisenhunt Promoted From Triple-A, Stifles Rockies Lineup
Carson Whisenhunt made a strong case for staying in the big leagues. The left-hander was called up from Triple-A Sacramento before the game. He then went out and held the Rockies to just three hits and two runs over five and two-thirds innings. That is a strong showing for any starter, let alone one just promoted.
Colorado managed only five hits for the entire game. The Rockies looked overmatched against San Francisco's pitching staff. Whisenhunt's control and composure gave the Giants' bullpen an easy night. The Giants never looked threatened after the early innings.
Rockies Outmatched in Series Opener at Oracle Park
Colorado came in struggling, and Tuesday's game did nothing to help. The Rockies were out-hit 13-5 and never found an answer for San Francisco's bats or arms. The final score of 8-2 was not as close as it sounds — the Giants were in control for most of the night, according to Belleville News-Democrat.
Three games remain in this series at Oracle Park. The Giants will look to build on this momentum. For Colorado, the challenge will be finding offense against a Giants pitching staff that looked sharp Tuesday. San Francisco appears to be a tough matchup for a Rockies team that has struggled to score runs consistently this season.
