Peter Lambert was greeted unceremoniously in his long-awaited return to the mound for the Colorado Rockies.
After 737 days between Major League starts, his delivery on the second pitch of the game Friday night was deposited 392 feet over Coors Field’s right-field wall by San Francisco’s Tommy La Stella.
From there, the right-hander surrendered another solo home run and just four hits in 3.2 innings before departing and the Giants went on to blast four home runs on the way to a 7-2 victory before a crowd of 41,613 at Coors Field.
Lambert was making his first start in the Majors since Sept.
