SAN FRANCISCO — A day game can be a problem if you play poorly, leaving the manager an additional six hours or so to analyze every mistake and potential long-term problem. After Monday’s 3-1 win under the sun, Bruce Bochy had nothing to do but put his feet up and enjoy the rest of the holiday.
The Giants played one of their cleanest games of the year in a win over the Rockies. The defense sparkled on all corners of the field, Jake Peavy provided another solid start, two key bats came up with big hits, and the bullpen shut it down with ease.
