Jake Peavy was hit extremely hard at times in his previous start against the Los Angeles Dodgers last Friday, and the same things happened on Wednesday.

The difference is that he was pitching at home on Friday and not in Colorado, a place which did not allow him to get away with any mistakes.

Nolan Arenado made sure of that on Wednesday, belting two homers and knocking in an eye-opening seven runs in taking down the Giants, 10-6, inside of Coors Field.

Arenado entered Wednesday’s game with a .313 batting average, and that is expected to be raised a little bit when tomorrow comes around.

However, it wasn’t just Arenado who was swinging a hot bat. Three of his teammates also had three hits apiece, including Trevor Story, who is undoubtedly having a monster start to his rookie season.

Story, who already has seven home runs in the first eight games of the year, did not go deep on Wednesday but did leg out a pair of triples and drove in a run in the process.

Pitchers typically don’t have very long outings in Coors Field, and these two hurlers were no different. Peavy lasted only four innings and gave up six runs on 11 hits, walking one and striking out five. His counterpart, Jordan Lyles, was not too far behind him, going only 4 2/3 innings and surrendering five runs on six hits, walking two hitters and striking out one.
