SAN FRANCISCO — The twin pairing of Tyler and Taylor Rogers in the San Francisco Giants bullpen has been more than a feel-good story. They have been so effective for the past two months that when it has come to bridging the gap to Camilo Doval in late-inning, high-leverage situations, they have begun to enter one after the other as Gabe Kapler’s options 1a and 1b.
Such was the case Friday night against the Colorado Rockies, with the score tied at 2 entering the seventh inning.
The twins who had been so good of late imploded in their own ways, sending the Giants to a 5-2 loss to the last-place Rockies, who hadn’t won a road game since June 13 and hadn’t beaten the Giants since last season. The Rockies’ win snapped a 10-game road losing streak and an 11-game losing streak to San Francisco.
