San Francisco Giants sink below .500 in another sloppy game for defense

The San Francisco Giants hit three home runs and had a starting pitcher go deep enough to qualify for a win for the second time this season, but their early success wasn’t enough to overcome another night of sloppy mistakes that have begun to define their defense.

Chadwick Tromp, Mike Yastrzemski and Alex Dickerson each hit home runs to help the Giants jump out to a 4-1 lead by the top of the fifth, but the game unraveled for San Francisco in the sixth after starter Johnny Cueto gave a up a two-run home run to Rockies star Nolan Arenado.
