Pacheco's Grand-slam Keys Rockies' Win Over Giants

From Elias: Jordan Pacheco's first major-league grand-slam broke a 5-5 tie in the fifth inning and the Rockies held on to defeat the Giants, 10-9, in Denver. In their 21-year major-league history, it was just the fifth grand-slam home run that the Rockies have hit against the Giants - and all five of those four-run wallops have been hit at Coors Field. Dante Bichette, Preston Wilson, Mark Sweeney and Ryan Spilborghs had provided Colorado's previous four-run hits against San Francisco. Pacheco's blow was the Rockies' 50th grand-slam home run at Coors Field since it opened in 1995. Of the Rockies' 82 grand-slam homers, 56 have been hit at home (including six at old Mile High Stadium) and only 26 have come in road games.
