DENVER — One traveled 438 feet. The other landed 416 feet from home plate.
Together, they made for the third multi-homer game of Curt Casali’s career and, with 854 feet and four RBIs between them, were the driving force in the Giants’ 7-6 win over the Rockies in their series opener Monday night inside the high-flying confines of Coors Field.
But it was the ball off Mike Yastrzemski’s bat that traveled 420 feet against Rockies closer Daniel Bard in the ninth inning that broke a 6-6 tie and allowed the Giants to escape a back-and-forth battle with their 11th straight win over Colorado, a streak dating back to last season that is the franchise’s longest against a single opponent since 1965.
