Tommie Harris' wife dies
DENVER, May 26 (UPI) -- Charles Johnson and Preston Wilson hit three-run homers Monday to power the Colorado Rockies to a 12-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
Johnson's blast off reliever Joe Nathan (5-2) capped a six-run rally in the fifth inning and put Colorado ahead for good, 7-6. An inning later, Wilson hit his 12th homer of the season to increase the Rockies' lead to 10-6.
Brian Fuentes (1-0), the second of four Colorado relievers, pitched 1 2/3 hitless innings for the win. The lefthander walked two and struck out one.
Minus injured superstar Barry Bonds, the Giants got a two-run homer from Ruben Rivera, but lost for the 11th time in 16 games.
Bonds missed his third straight game with a sore right knee.
