DENVER — San Francisco Giants supervisor Bob Melvin wasn’t round for the end Sunday as his crew defeated the Colorado Rockies at Coors Discipline.

“I simply talked an excessive amount of,” Melvin mentioned following the Giants’ 3-2 victory. “Umpiring’s a tough job, I am conscious of that, simply in all probability mentioned an excessive amount of. I did not plan that, it wasn’t choreographed. I in all probability went too far.”
San Francisco was coming off a 4-3 loss to the Rockies on Saturday night time and a 7-3 defeat Friday.
Moments after Melvin was tossed, Jorge Soler led off Sunday’s sport for the Giants with a 478-foot homer to middle area, the longest within the majors this season.
