SAN FRANCISCO -- A night after showing his two-time Rawlings Gold Glove prowess with a stunning catch, Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado showed he can hit as well.
Arenado's three-run, first-inning homer lifted the Rockies past the Giants, 4-2, for their sixth win in as many road games. It completed just the Rockies' fourth sweep of a series at AT&T Park since it opened in 2000.
Arenado's homer, his third this season, came off Giants starter Tim Lincecum (0-1), who gave up another run (unearned) in the second and lasted five innings (six hits, one walk, no strikeouts).
