Gonzalez Hits 2 HRs Again As Rockies Rout Giants 11-3

DENVER (AP) - Carlos Gonzalez homered twice for the second straight night, Chris Rusin pitched a complete game and the Colorado Rockies routed the reeling San Francisco Giants 11-3 on Thursday night.

Gonzalez hit a pair of two-run homers to take the NL lead with a career-high 35. He finished with four hits and drove in four runs to lead Colorado's season-high 19-hit effort.

Nolan Arenado homered for the fourth consecutive game.

Gonzalez's big night helped extend San Francisco's losing streak to six. The Giants are now seven games back in the NL West and the Wild Card chase.

San Francisco was swept by the Dodgers in three one-run games heading into Thursday, but there was no drama against the Rockies.
