The Giants’ bats finally erupted at Coors Field in Sunday’s series finale, scoring 19 runs on 25 hits, including a seven-run fifth capped by a Willy Adames grand slam. The Giants tallied more runs in that single frame than the Rockies did all day, as San Francisco dodged the sweep and held onto fourth place in the NL West with the 19-6 win. The game offered a glimpse into the future, with Bryce Eldridge’s 4-for-6 day and his tape-measure 453-foot homer to dead center -- the longest Giants homer of the season -- pairing with Jonah Cox’s big league debut, his first run, and his first hit all coming in the eighth and ninth innings of a game that didn’t quit. “It was refreshing,” manager Tony Vitello said of the offensive explosion. “I don't know whether it's washing away the thoughts from the previous two days or cleansing yourself with positive thoughts. Seeing Jonah and Bryce doing what they did was ultra exciting.” The fifth inning featured an intentional walk, two singles, three doubles, a triple and the slam, with all but the last single coming around to score. The slam was Adames’ sixth of his career and the Giants’ fourth of the season. All four Giants slams this year have come in May, the most in a month in franchise history since the 1970 club hit four in April. Other offensive highlights included Jung Hoo Lee’s five-hit game -- his second four-hit game of the weekend -- and a 4-for-6 day with three doubles for Rafael Devers. “It's who he is,” Vitello said of Lee, who went 11-for-15 on the weekend and raised his average from .268 to .304. “I would think he leads our team at most hard-contact outs at people. He's a very gifted hitter.”
