Giants win 3-1 behind Peavy, Posey and Pagan

SAN FRANCISCO -- Home runs by Buster Posey and Angel Pagan supplied all the runs Jake Peavy would need Monday as the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 before a Fourth of July crowd of 41,874.Posey hit a solo home run in the second inning, his 10th, with Pagan hitting a two-run home run with Ruben Tejada aboard in the third inning. Peavy gave up just one run in 6 2/3 innings, and that came in the top of the second when he balked with the bases loaded to bring in the Rockies' run. He walked two, struck out six and improved to 5-7.The Giants bullpen, inconsistent of late, came through with Javier Lopez, Sergio Romo, Josh Osich, Derek Law and Santiago Casilla finishing up. Romo was activated from the disabled list Monday after missing the first 76 games with a flexor strain. Romo's entrance was a minor surprise, given manager Bruce Bochy's pregame inclination to get him more of a low-stress inning for his first appearance of the season. However, with a 3-1 lead in the eighth, Romo arrived to a standing ovation from the home crowd. The first batter to face Romo, D.J. LeMahieu, hit a ball to the hole at deep short which was fielded by Brandon Crawford, with Brandon Belt digging out the throw at first.
