The San Francisco Giants went back on the road visiting Coors Field for a three game series. The opening game of the series went well for the Giants with both pitching and hitting finding the attitude of Coors field to their liking. Jeff Samardzija pitched eight strong innings holding the Rockies to just two runs. Samardzija no-hit rookie star Trevor Story spotting his pitches on the outside of the plate making the hot hitter reach for pitches out of the strike zone.
A big story of the night was two home runs by backup catcher Trevor Brown who has just three hits for the season, all home runs. I think this young player wants to stay in the line-up. He did a great job behind the plate, too! This was another all-around team win with big contributions from Hunter Pence, Angel Pagan and Joe Panik. The season has started well for the Giants. The exciting part of this great start is a different player is stepping-up every game which points to a strong overall lineup from top to bottom of the lineup.
Jake Peavy is back on the mound tonight against Rockies, Jordon Lyles. Game time is 6:40 p.m MT, 5:40 p.m. PST.
