excited. that is how starved this fan bases for something to cheer about. in reality, the rockies just aren't very good. last night the giants reminded us that they still have a ways to go. they blew a four-run 9th inning lead and lost. >> they tried to make up for this afternoon in pittsburgh. and guess what? blake snell returned. >> from a left, a doctor's strain. but, randi, to expect? he did not have the return that was hoping for is go to the 4th inning bases loaded snow and some hitting andrew mccutchen. fact, right foot. it grazed him. i guess him nonetheless. snow had 87 pitches, walked 4 batters in 3 plus innings. very next batter. bryan reynolds could not get out to jan snell, create it. haley. so generally, i should say, i can't believe we scroll past anyway. it is 5 to nothing after the grand slam top of the 9th giants down to their

last out. lamonte wade junior. he comes on the clutch. you've got to love it. louise motto scores the tying run and we were all knotted up at 5. a piece that would send it into extras. now in the top of tent times with a couple runners on patrick bailey grounds it into right, kyra estrada scores the go ahead, run in the giants. take their first lead of the later in the inning. giants up by 3 runners at the corners for luis matos. the reigning nl player of the week is keeps raking jorge solera scores that capped off a four-run 10 ending. giants go on to win 9 to 4. the rubber match is tomorrow. alright a's hosting the rockies. hoping to build off their momentum from last night's comeback win. bottom of the 9th same score to offer zach gallo off. he hits a liner to right-center us truly ruiz scores the tying run.

organization >> i know it's no small feat to be the leader of a the f of the franchise and leader of organization. and that takes time to get the confidence and and be comfortable in that position and understand all the little things that you do during the course of the day, a week of the month of the season badly inland into and brock is growing in that area. and i think that's really cool. >> it will be interesting to see this is kind of like a contract year for brock because he's extension eligible. so he technically is not a contract year. but if you please great, he's going to 60. there's a year or if he plays really bad, it will cost him some money to do so is really a what are the chances he plays poorly? i don't think they're high. yeah, it just, you know, this is the year where he can really put his foot on the niners next figuratively speaking from a a checkbook, not let not litter.
