DENVER -- Highlighting a comeback from a six-run deficit, the Giants amassed five extra-base hits in a six-run seventh inning, propelling them to a 12-7 triumph over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night at Coors Field.The Giants trailed, 6-0, through three innings before scoring a run in the fifth inning and three in the sixth. Then came their big seventh. 
Angel Pagan drew a one-out walk and sped to third base on Joe Panik's opposite-field double to left, which finished Colorado starter Jordan Lyles. Buster Posey, who homered one inning earlier, doubled to right-center off reliever Matt Belisle to score Pagan and Panik, narrowing the difference to 7-6.Pablo Sandoval popped out, but the third out continued to elude Colorado. Hunter Pence singled home Posey and scored on Gregor Blanco's double. Andrew Susac drove an RBI double to right-center field that chased Belisle and preceded Brandon Crawford's triple off Nick Masset.The Giants added another pair of runs in the eighth inning as Posey lined an RBI double, and then scored when center fielder Drew Stubbs muffed Pence's catchable fly ball.Giants starter Yusmeiro Petit lacked the sharpness he displayed on Thursday, when he extended his streak of consecutive batters retired to a Major League-record 46. Petit, who allowed one run and four hits in six innings that afternoon, this time lasted four innings and surrendered six runs, his second-highest total of the season, along with seven hits.Colorado generated all of its runs against Petit with two outs. Corey Dickerson's two-run double put the Rockies ahead in the first inning before they added four runs in the third. Stubbs doubled, Dickerson drew an intentional walk and Josh Rutledge tripled home two runs before DJ LeMahieu clobbered a two-run homer.The Giants then began the recovery process. Blanco singled to open the fifth and came home on Adam Duvall's pinch-hit single. After Colorado added a fifth-inning run, San Francisco scored three runs in the sixth as Posey drilled a leadoff homer, Pence singled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games and Susac homered. That narrowed the difference to 7-4 and set up the Giants' seventh-inning uprising.Chris Haft / MLB.com
