Giants lack holiday spark, waste Suárez’s gem in Fourth of July loss

DENVER–The Giants were decked out in red, white and blue for Independence Day, but there would be no celebrating in the visiting clubhouse on this Fourth of July.

Rookie left-hander Andrew Suárez turned in a holiday masterpiece on the mound, but the Giants’ offense failed to provide any fireworks as the club suffered a 1-0 defeat that capped off a three-game sweep for the Rockies.

After taking three straight from the first-place Diamondbacks to open a six-game road trip, the Giants failed to capitalize on any of their three opportunities to secure their first winning road trip of the season and lost the finale after recording just three hits.
