SAN FRANCISCO — Furious after the first-base umpire called him for a balk, again, Rockies left-hander Tyler Anderson threw up his arms and stomped toward the bag. DJ LeMahieu sprinted over to save his pitcher from a tossing. Their skipper was not so lucky.
Rockies manager Bud Black was ejected in the fifth inning in a furious exchange with ump Bill Welke and San Francisco starter Johnny Cueto dominated Colorado again in the Giants’ runaway XX victory in front of 42,738 at AT&T Park.
A walk and a balk in the second inning from Anderson led to an early Giants lead after their left fielder, Chris Marrero, hit his first career home run, a line drive to left field that scored Eduardo Nunez.
