SAN FRANCISCO — Willy Adames homered twice and drove in three runs, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Sunday.

Adames hit a solo homer in each of his first two at-bats for his eighth career multihomer game. He just missed another homer in the fifth when he hit an RBI double off the wall in right-center.

Giants right-hander Logan Webb (4-2) pitched seven innings of one-run ball, bouncing back nicely after he surrendered a season-high five runs in a loss at San Diego on Tuesday.

Colorado dropped to a major league-worst 6-28. It is 2-17 on the road.

The Rockies closed to 2-1 on Jacob Stallings' RBI single in the fifth. But the Giants responded with three runs in the bottom half of the inning.

Adames' double knocked in Mike Yastrzemski, who drove in two runs earlier in the inning. The Giants added four runs in the seventh to take a 9-1 lead.

Gérman Márquez (0-6) allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings and lost his sixth consecutive start for the Rockies.
