SAN FRANCISCO — It has been more than a month since the Giants’ wins last equaled their losses, but continuing their hot stretch to end the season Thursday, they moved one step closer to finishing the season at .500.
The Giants deployed a bullpen game for the 10th time this month and, in an increasingly common outcome, got stellar showings from all five pitchers to limit the Rockies to five hits in a 6-3 win — their eighth in their past nine games, pulling them within one game of .500 (77-78).
Sean Hjelle, who tossed four innings in the middle, earned the first win of his major-league career.
