DENVER -- Buster Posey is rounding into form, looking more and more like the 2012 version of the player who won the NL MVP. Jason Castro Astros Jersey . Couldnt have picked a better time, too, with the post-season on the horizon. Posey homered, doubled twice and drove in four runs, rallying the San Francisco Giants past the Colorado Rockies 12-7 on Tuesday night for their seventh win in eight games. His solo homer in the sixth keyed a three-run burst as the Giants raced back from a 7-1 deficit to remain on the heels of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. He hit a two-run double in a six-run seventh. Poseys prodigious night pushed his average over .300 for the first time since May. "Hes on fire right now and looking really good," winning pitcher George Kontos said. "Buster is a guy if something is not going right for him for a week or two or however long it is, hes a guy whos going to come out of it. "Hes going to get in his groove and do what were all accustomed to seeing him do." Kontos (4-0) kept the Giants in striking distance with 1 2-3 scoreless innings. Manager Bruce Bochy called that one of the turning points of the game. "As I was getting to the mound, Boch handed me the ball and he goes, Hold us here and well get you a win," Kontos recounted. "He came inside and said, I told you! I told you! Its crazy how quickly things can turn by putting up a couple of zeroes." Especially at Coors Field, where anything can happen and no lead is safe. "Thats the beauty of this park. Its easier to come back here than anywhere else," Bochy said. "Guys did a great job of not getting down." Once the Giants got rolling, the Rockies couldnt cool them off, as starter Jordan Lyles allowed six runs in 6 1-3 innings before giving way to reliever Matt Belisle (4-7), who surrendered another four before being pulled after getting just one out. Down six runs in the sixth, the Giants began to climb back into the game with Poseys 19th homer of the season and later a two-run shot from Andrew Susac. A seventh inning that featured five extra-base hits began with pinch-hitter Matt Duffy grounding out. San Francisco had a two-run double by Posey, an RBI single from Hunter Pence, a run-scoring double by Gregor Blanco that gave the Giants the lead, an RBI double from Susac and a run-scoring triple from Brandon Crawford. The inning ended with Duffy striking out. Pence had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 15 games for the Giants. Josh Rutledge had a two-run triple in the third and DJ LeMahieu followed a two-run homer for the Rockies, who blew their biggest lead of the season. "Its a bad loss," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Two different games, really. It wasnt pretty. "Jordan was throwing the ball really well. I was trying to squeeze another inning out of him. But I think he went about as long as he could. I think he was starting to tire." Yusmeiro Petit was hit hard, allowing six runs in four innings but was let off the hook with a no-decision by his teams comeback. Just the way things have been going for the Giants. "This is the time of year thats fun, because you can see the playoffs on the horizon," Posey said. "Really, thats the focus, just coming out and trying to win each day." TRAINERS ROOM Giants: OF Michael Morse suffered a strained oblique in batting practice Monday. Bochy said he expects Morse to return soon. Rockies: OF Michael Cuddyer (strained left hamstring) said hes healthy and will be ready to come off the disabled list when hes eligible next week. In his down time, Cuddyer said hes drafted four different fantasy football teams. UP NEXT Giants: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (8-9, 3.73) has given up eight earned runs in 6 1-3 innings against Colorado this season. Rockies: RHP Christian Bergman (1-2, 5.74) didnt give up a hit until the fifth in his last start at Arizona. He went 5 1-3 innings in a no-decision. FAMILY AFFAIR RHP Brett Bochy had his contract purchased from Triple-A Fresno and will be a long reliever for his father. He didnt make his major league debut Tuesday night. Its the second time the Giants have had a father-son, manager-player combination. Moises Alou played for his dad, Felipe, in 2005. Jose Altuve Jersey . The brothers from Belarus played two lacklustre games after travelling to Europe before each having their tournament end abruptly against Canada on Tuesday. Jose Cruz Astros Jersey . The All Blacks ended a 26-19 win in Paris camped on their own line and thankful for second-half tries by Charles Piutau and No. 8 Kieran Read to maintain their unbeaten record in 2013. The Springboks emerged 24-15 winners in Cardiff after making the most of limited possession to score tries through Jean de Villiers, Bismarck du Plessis and Fourie du Preez in a 14th straight victory over the Welsh since 1999.NEW YORK -- Kevin Youkilis is leaving the major leagues after an injury plagued season and heading to Japan. The three-time All-Star has agreed to a one-year contract with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japans Pacific League. "They made it very apparent right from the start they were quite interested in Kevin being there," agent Joe Bick said Friday. A 34-year-old first baseman and third baseman, Youkilis will have a $4 million base salary and can earn $1 million in bonuses -- including some based on walks, a provision not allowed in major league contracts. After nine seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Youkilis signed a $12 million, one-year deal with the New York Yankees. But his back started to bother him in mid-April, and an epidural injection didnt improve a lumbar spine sprain. Sidelined from April 27 to May 31, he went back on the DL on June 13, had surgery a week later to repair a herniated disk and didnt return. Carlos Correa Astros Jersey. Youkilis hit just .219 with two homers and eight RBIs over 28 games and 105 at-bats. "Theres no reason to believe hes anything less than 100 per cent," Bick said. "Workouts are going normally." Youkilis has a .281 average in 10 big league seasons with 150 homers and 618 RBIs, and he earned a World Series ring with the 2007 Red Sox. At Rakuten, Youkilis may become teammates with star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, who went 24-0 last season, While Tanaka wants to join the major leagues, Rakuten is reluctant to make him available in the new posting season, and the 25-year-old right-hander cant leave as a free agent until after the 2015 season. "We were talking with eight or nine other clubs over here," Bick said. "In the final analysis, he said the right thing for my family and me is to go do this. It will be a wonderful life experience."
