DENVER — Tyler Chatwood gave up one unearned run in seven innings as the Rockies handed the Giants their second loss in the last 15 games, 5-2, at Coors Field on Friday night.

The Giants, who lost starting pitcher Matt Cain in the second inning to a right hamstring strain, took a 1-0 lead in the third, courtesy of second baseman DJ LeMahieu’s first error of the season. But the Rockies took the lead with two runs in the third on doubles by Tony Wolters, Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado off injury replacement Albert Suarez.

Chatwood, who entered with a 6.65 home ERA in four starts, surrendered four hits and struck out three against no walks, and became the first Rockies pitcher since Juan Nicasio on July 15, 2011, to throw seven innings with no earned runs and no walks in a start at Coors Field. The Rockies improved to 5-3 against the National League West-leading Giants.
