Give a scrappy team extra outs, they won’t just steal your lunch money, kids. They’ll steal your soul.

“We feel like we’re just as good as, if not better than, (that) team,” Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard said of the Giants after helping Colorado notch its first win over San Francisco this season on Wednesday, snapping a 12- game franchise losing streak.

“That’s why it was so frustrating to be losing a lot of games to them. It’s good to get that win. Because we feel like we can hang with anybody.”

Hanging’s one thing. Beating them’s another. In the initial five meetings between the two National League West teams this season, all Giants victories, the Rockies had committed eight errors to San Francisco’s two.

“The Giants have had our number over the past year or so and somewhat dominated us — similar to what the Dodgers, obviously, have done over the years,” starter Kyle Freeland told The Post’s Patrick Saunders after navigating six solid innings in Colorado’s 5- 3 victory.

“They know that they have so many wins against us and that they kind of roll right over us. That’s not a good feeling. So in situations like this, you have to kind of take it personally. Which I did.”

The Dodgers pummel you over the head with Elon Musk’s wallet. The Padres strangle you with pitching until you tap out. But losing 12 in a row to the Giants? That takes some doing.

San Francisco went into the week ranked No. 13 in total payroll, at $153.3 million, according to Spotrac.com. The Rockies checked in at No. 17, with $136.7 million.

“They seem to get the best out of all their guys,” Hilliard said. “They don’t chase pitches out of the zone … so they’ll make you grind. And on the other side of the ball, their pitchers, they don’t make a lot of mistakes, either. There’s not a bunch of huge names on the lineup card. They seem to get the best out of their guys.”

The Giants aren’t just what the Rockies aspire to be. They’re what they need to be. Smart. Ornery. clutch. Air tight.

They come into a series with a good plan, and more often than not, execute the holy heck out of it. They wait for you to make a mistake, then run through that hole to daylight.

The Rox, meanwhile, played just their 19th error-free game out of the season’s first 37. Colorado improved to 12-7 in those games. The local nine are 6-12 in games with one or more errors. Problem is, we’re not even sure if manager Bud Black knows which defense — Jekyll (Wednesday) or Hyde (two errors on Tuesday) — he’s going to get on a given night.

“Hopefully,” Black said, “the worm’s turned.”

If you’re looking for a good sign, it might’ve come in the top of the sixth from out of left field. Literally. To start the frame, the Giants’ Thairo Estrada launched a grounder that somehow bounced over the third-base bag and skipped off the pad to the corner.

Then things got weird. Presuming it to be foul, the Rockies’ security detail in left field bent over and, showing good form, picked the ball up while it was moving, fielded it cleanly… and threw it into the stands.

While Estrada stopped at second, Hilliard, chasing the play, zipped over to the staffer and explained the situation. At which point, the man in question put his head in his hands. He next raised those same hands in a silent plea the sky, as if to ask, Why me? Why now?

“I said, ‘Hey, that was fair, man,'” Hilliard recalled. “He goes, ‘What?’ I said, ‘That was a fair ball.’ And then I saw him just put his head in his hands.”

As Twitter howled, Freeland eventually struck out Joey Bart and Austin Slater to get out of trouble, making the viral gaffe moot.

I shot down to the left-field corner an inning later to get the guy’s take on one of the weirdest live-ball plays you’ll ever witness. When I introduced myself, he grinned and looked ready to laugh it off.

Then the gentleman saw the press credential around my neck, and visions of infamous Cubs fan Steve Bartman danced in his head. He backed away slowly.

“Oh, I don’t want to comment,” the man replied, and we left it at that.

“I kind of felt bad for the guy,” Hilliard said later. “I tried to whistle at him and say, ‘Hey, it’s OK.’ But he didn’t hear me. Hey was wallowing.”

A kid made it out with that fluky fair ball, according to witnesses. The Rockies made it out with a win. And for once, Coors Field security detail weren’t the ones in purple flashing the best hands in the field.

“(The Giants) have had our number for the past 12 games,” Hilliard continued. “To get a ‘W ‘against them at home, we feel like we’ve got a little bit of momentum on our side. It feels really, really good.”

The post Rockies are bored with being San Francisco Giants’ little brother. Their computerized win. “We really feel like we’re simply nearly as good as, if not higher than, (that) staff.” appeared first on DAILY SAN FRANCISCO BAY NEWS.
