DENVER – The hype surrounding shortstop Trevor Story became so thick and media interest so intense that, even on a Tuesday night, the Colorado Rockies arranged a separate pregame interview session for the rookie.
The Giants quietly brought their own rookie named Trevor. And their backup catcher stole the show. Trevor Brown, who started only because Buster Posey had a sore foot, hit a pair of two-run home runs and caught Jeff Samardzija’s first win with his new club in a 7-2 victory at Coors Field.
Perhaps Brandon Crawford said it best while describing the Giants offense: they don’t have a bunch of power hitters, but a collection of good hitters who happen to have power.
