DENVER -- On a throw thats usually a breeze, Daniel Descalso had the ball sail.That error paved the way to the decisive run in the ninth inning as the Colorado Rockies lost 3-2 to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Kelby Tomlinson lined a one-out, tiebreaking single that scored Buster Posey, who reached on Descalsos errant toss.I just didnt make a good throw at a bad time in the game, the shortstop said. I made that throw thousands of times. It sailed on me there and nobody feels worse than me -- putting the guy on second base there. I feel like it cost us the game tonight.Posey began the top of the ninth by hitting a grounder to Descalso, who fielded it cleanly but overthrew first baseman Gerardo Parra and allowed Posey to cruise into second. Hunter Pence followed with an infield single off closer Adam Ottavino (0-2), who was then replaced by lefty Boone Logan.After Brandon Crawford struck out, Tomlinson lined an 0-2 fastball into left field to bring home Posey with the decisive run.Thats what its about -- the guys picking each other up, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

The lefty with a deceiving hitch in his delivery has a 3.04 ERA at Coors Field this season.Changeup wasnt as good today as it has been in the past, Anderson explained. So we had to make due with cutters and fastballs mostly and when you do that, obviously guys are swinging because they all look like fastballs. So I was able to get them to put the ball in play a lot.Samardzija matched the rookies performance as he allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings.

Nunez grounded out to short to bring home the tying run.Manager Walt Weiss said he never contemplated bringing the infield in to cut off the run.Thats suicide. You got two guys in scoring position. Youre at home. Youll play for the tie there, Weiss said. Well give up the run and extend the game if we have to. On the road, that probably becomes a tougher decision.Nunezs solo shot in the third was a rare homer for the Giants, who have 37 since All-Star break -- the second-fewest in the league.LeMahieu, who is in a close race for the NL batting title with Washingtons Daniel Murphy, went 3 for 4 on Tuesday and raised his average to .343.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: OF Charlie Blackmon missed a fourth straight game with tightness in his lower back.

Think a desk full of highlighter pens, only brighter.Its a very cool outfit, said American player Jack Sock, who took the court Wednesday with an all-fluorescent yellow kit, socks and all. Maybe because its New York City, theres that electric feeling and a lot of buzz, excitement, anticipation. ... Loud audiences and loud matches go along with the loud outfits.The neon trend has been building for years and harkens back to the 1990s, when players such as Andre Agassi in his long-hair days struck a rebellious pose. Nike, in particular, is taking it mainstream this year, with well over a dozen players in the mens and womens draws decked out from head to toe in bright yellow, with black and pink accents that only serve to make the color seem brighter. Rafael Nadal stands apart from his Nike comrades in a relatively staid black outfit, but the soles of his feet are festooned in ultra-bright yellow.The color was so ubiquitous that several times in the early rounds, competing players battled it out in the same, official all-yellow Nike line, which the company says takes its cues frrom the bright lights of New York City .dddddddddddd.. bright color spectrums mimic the chromatic shift of neon lights.Is all attention good attention or does it go too far?When 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro strode on court for his opening match in gleaming yellow shirt, shorts, socks, shoes and headband, one Twitter commenter struck a familiar snarky tone: Be one with the tennis ball. Literally turn into one. Another feed, Vamos Delpo Fans, tweeted simply : Daaaang Nike thats yellow.Judy Murray, mother of No. 2-seed Andy Murray, tweeted on the stylings of a fellow British player: Has someone attacked Kyle Edmund with a highlighter pen?Sock may have gotten the better of his opponent Mischa Zverev on the court, but the German more than held his own on the loud scale, with an Adidas ensemble of shocking pink hat, pink and yellow shirt, pink shorts and pink shoes. Zverev even set off the outfit, intentionally or not, with neon yellow tennis strings.Asked about his neon pink New Balance shoes, which stood out in an otherwise conservative kit of white and black, Canadian Milos Raonic was resigned to go with the fashion flow.The color is very pink and loud, but I like the outfit, Raonic said. I like the sort of disconnectedness -- that thats sort of the focal point. ' ' '
