DENVER–The story takes different twists and turns and features various heroes and villains, yet somehow always leads back to the same familiar ending.
When the Giants travel to Coors Field, there are ups and downs and highs and lows, but the plot finds a way to end in a deflating place, as it did Wednesday in San Francisco’s 5-3 loss to Colorado.
The story in this chapter was Story himself, as Rockies shortstop Trevor Story did his best impression of a pilot, guiding three flying objects high into the stratosphere against rookie left-hander Andrew Suárez.
If Suárez had dreams of entering baseball’s record books, they certainly didn’t involve giving up the longest home run since Statcast began projecting distances in 2015.
