DENVER — Thero Estrada and Joc Pederson each had two hits in a 10-hit sixth inning in which San Francisco opened a nine-run lead. The Giants held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 11-10 on Sunday and snap a three-game losing skid that hurt their chances for a wild-card berth.

San Francisco took a 9-0 lead into the sixth inning before Colorado sealed it. After scoring four times in the ninth inning, the Rockies were on second and third with two outs when slugger Charlie Blackmon hit a soft liner for Estrada at second.
