SAN FRANCISCO – Stop if you’ve heard this one before: Nolan Arenado destroyed the Giants again Tuesday night. And how’s this for a retread: the Giants bullpen blew another late lead.

Arenado clocked a three-run home run off right-hander Cory Gearrin in the seventh inning, the Giants bullpen tied the Reds for the major league lead with 17 blown saves and they wasted six strong from Madison Bumgarner in addition to two spectacular catches from right fielder Mac Williamson in a 7-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park.
