Giants fall short after Rockies' surge
Joe Panik launches a home run over the right-field wall to give the Giants an early 1-0 lead in the top of the 1stThe Rockies tacked on three runs in the seventh with a Desmond sacrifice fly, a Raimel Tapia single that Hunter Pence misplayed in right field, and an Alexi Amarista RBI double.
The Giants hit three homers of their own, including a 446-foot shot over the right-center-field wall by San Francisco starter Jeff Samardzija, the longest home run by a pitcher since Statcast™ was introduced in 2015. On the mound, Samardzija didn't fare as well, surrendering a season-high eight runs on 11 hits over six-plus innings.
