Ryan McMahon homered among his two hits while C.J. Cron, Yonathan Daza and Randal Grichuk had two hits each for Colorado.

San Francisco grabbed its first lead in the fifth. Estrada led off with a walk, Ruf singled and Casali followed with his second homer of the night and third of the season to make it 4-1.

McMahon tied it when he led off the sixth inning with his fourth homer of the season.
Wood allowed three runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
