SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Clint Barmes hit a two-out RBI double in the 11th inning and the Colorado Rockies won their season-high fourth straight road game by beating the San Francisco Giants 2-1 Tuesday night.

The Rockies had runners thrown out at the plate in the ninth and 10th innings before finally breaking through in the 11th.

Santiago Casilla (1-1) retired the first two batters before allowing a single to Miguel Olivo and walking Melvin Mora. Barmes then lined a double just inside the left-field line that scored Olivo with the go-ahead run.

Rafael Betancourt (1-1) struck out two in a perfect 10th for the win. Manuel Corpas got three outs for his fifth save in six chances.
