Giants rocked in rainy Colorado 11-2

DENVER - Nolan Arenado had four hits and four RBIs, leading Chad Bettis and the Colorado Rockies to an 11-2 win Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.

Troy Tulowitzki and Nick Hundley each drove in two runs as Rockies split the rain-soaked, four-game series.

Bettis (1-0) was nearly unhittable until the ninth inning. Nori Aoki singled on the first pitch of the game, and San Francisco’s next hit was Matt Duffy’s leadoff single in the eighth.

Bettis allowed two runs and six hits in a career-long 8? innings. He struck out a career-high seven and walked two.

Aoki led off the ninth with a double and scored on Joe Panik’s single to left. Buster Posey’s one-out single extended his hitting streak to 16 games and Brandon Belt followed with an RBI double to chase Bettis. Brooks Brown got the last two outs.

The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 10 minutes while a thunderstorm moved through the area. All four games in the series were delayed by rain, including both ends of Saturday’s doubleheader.

The Rockies have dealt with weather delays at Coors Field throughout the spring. Saturday’s nightcap was a makeup of an April 26 rainout, and four other games were either postponed or shortened due to rain.

Colorado’s offense had a nice day once the skies cleared.

Arenado tripled and scored in the second. He started Colorado’s eight-run fourth with a single and capped it with a three-run drive on the first pitch he saw from reliever Jean Machi.

Hundley and Daniel Descalso had RBI singles and Tulowitzki had a two-run single ahead of Arenado’s team-best eighth homer. Arenado singled up the middle in the sixth to make it 10-0. It was his fifth career four-hit game. He flied out in his last at-bat.

Tim Hudson (2-4) stayed winless in Colorado after allowing six runs and six hits in 3? innings. Hudson is 0-3 in 10 starts at Coors Field. It is the only NL park in which he has not recorded a win.

Giants pitchers came to Denver having not allowed a run in 28 innings and extended it to 34 innings in Friday’s opener. The staff allowed 32 runs in the last 28 innings of the weekend series.
