DENVER -- The San Francisco Giants headed home with their playoff hopes still alive. Pablo Sandoval homered twice in an eight-run fourth inning, part of a six-home run barrage that led the late-charging Giants over the Colorado Rockies 12-5 Sunday for their eighth straight win. On its longest winning streak since April 2007, San Francisco closed within four games of Atlanta, the NL wild-card leader. "Weve done what we needed to do," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Its obvious we need help. Weve got to find a way to get (wins) and see what happens at the end." Pitcher Matt Cain, Mike Fontenot, Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford also homered for the Giants, who remained five games back of Arizona in the NL West. The defending World Series champions have nine games left, including three against the Diamondbacks. "We feel like weve got a really good shot," Belt said. Cain (12-10) allowed five runs -- three earned -- five hits, four walks and two hit batters in five innings. He helped himself with two hits, including his first home run since May 13, 2008, against Houston. "I never found a rhythm," he said. "I was really working and putting a lot of pressure on myself throughout the five innings." Bochy said he was one batter from taking Cain out in the fifth, but Cain got Tommy Field to hit into an inning-ending double play. "He looked like he didnt know how to pitch with a lead like that," Bochy said. In a four-game sweep of the Rockies, the Giants piled up 35 runs and 48 hits. Sandoval led the way with a seven hits, including three homers, in three games. He started the series by hitting for the cycle Thursday and ended it with his second multihomer game this season. "What a series he had," Bochy said. "Pretty impressive. Pablo was locked in." Sandoval led off the fourth with a homer to centre off Esmil Rogers (6-6). One out later, Belt homered and Crawford doubled. Cain followed with a homer to centre. Sandoval ended the rally with his 22nd homer, a drive into the right-field bleachers for 10-1 lead. "I said to my teammates, I got the hard ones. Well see what happens. When you get the hard ones, its tough to get the easy ones," Sandoval said. "I wasnt thinking about the cycle, you just want to get a pitch to drive the guy in. I got a good pitch, and I hit a home run." Fontenot had given the Giants a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer in the first. Colorado scored twice each in the fourth and fifth innings to close the gap, but a solo homer by Crawford helped the Giants stay comfortably ahead. Ty Wigginton and Seth Smith had two hits each for Colorado, which has lost five of six. Rogers allowed nine runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings, dropping to 0-4 with a 7.81 earned-run average since winning three straight starts in late July and early August. "The ball was very true going through the strike zone and somewhere between belt and mid-thigh area," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "When you do that, youre going to get hit by good big league hitters. Thats exactly what happened." NOTES: The Giants activated closer Brian Wilson from the 15-day DL. ...

It was a poor day on serve for the normally big-hitting Raonic. The 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., dropped four service games in a loss which took a mere 52 minutes. The Bryans are bidding for a third consecutive final at the seaside Country Club. They beat the team of Torontos Daniel Nestor and former partner Max Mirnyi for the 2012 title. The young pair of Raonic and Tomic managed just five aces between them and converted on only one of five break point chances. Raonic lost serve twice in the opening set as the experiencedd Bryan twins wrapped it up in 26 minutes.dddddddddddd In the second set, Raonic held to start the set and saved two match points in the final game -- both of his serve. But a winning Bryan return at the feet of Tomic ended the semifinal. Despite the disappointment, Raonic will use the doubles as a spring board for his singles, where he is ranked 15th. "Its fun for us, I like to play doubles with Bernie," said the Canadian. "Its a relaxed atmosphere. "It also helps our singles and I hope it pays off. Its a type of tennis where you have to adapt and it can only help improve your singles on clay." Raonic will take his game to his training base in Barcelona next week for that ATP clay event. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
