Stratton’s 2-hit shutout snaps Giants’ slide

It's over. Finally. The Giants entered Friday's contest on an 11-game losing streak, the franchise's worst since they moved West in 1958. The Rockies arrived at AT&T Park atop the National League West standings, riding a seven-game win streak over their sinking divisional foe. Chris Stratton played the role of stopper in Friday's 2-0 victory, notching the first complete game and shutout of his career. The right-hander limited the robust Rockies lineup to two singles and two walks, using just 114 pitches to navigate through his outing.
