It was a tough night for the San Francisco Giants and Jake Peavy in Denver last night. Coors field can be tough on any pitcher including home starters. The Rockies got to Jake early and the damage could have been greater if the fence in right-field had not been moved back in the off-season. Trevor Story had two triples that would have been home-runs last year at this time. Jake set a record he won't be celebrating in giving up 10 extra base hits in one game. Coors field and the Rockies can be tough on pitchers.
Rockies starter Jordan Lyles did not fare much better. The Giants knocked him out in the fifth inning and he left the game with a 6-5 lead. The Rockies bullpen and extra base hits were too much for the Giants on this night and a quick regrouping will be needed before an early afternoon game on Thursday.
Next up, Matt Cain vs Jorge De La Rosa at 12:10 today PST.
