SAN FRANCISCO — On many nights over the last two years, the Giants have walked back to the clubhouse muttering about Nolan Arenado. On many nights over the last three months, the Giants have walked back to the clubhouse muttering about a blown lead.
On Tuesday night, they did both.
Arenado hit a go-ahead three-run blast off reliever Cory Gearrin in the seventh in what truly was a marriage of ongoing Giants issues. The homer was Arenado’s 14th against the Giants in the past two seasons and gave him an astounding 21 RBI in 12 meetings this season.
