SAN FRANCISCO -- Jake Peavy walked off the mound to a standing ovation from a spirited Fourth of July crowd, and that felt a whole lot better than the boos fired his way at times this season.Peavy helped take the pressure off a taxed and tired bullpen for an afternoon, and got a couple of timely swings to back his impressive day.Angel Pagan hit a two-run homer, Buster Posey also connected, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 on Monday.Peavy (5-7) struck out six over 6 2/3 innings to bounce back from his third-shortest outing of the season. He left to a standing ovation and tipped his cap while exiting in the seventh after a two-out single by pinch-hitter Cristhian Adames. Giants right fielder Mac Williamson made a beautiful diving catch to start the inning.Any time youre walking off the field and you know youve done your job to the best of your ability and the results are there, youre excited, Peavy said. I love when the fans show support. It feels a whole lot better than it did walking off the mound with some of the stuff being said early in the year.Nolan Arenado hit two doubles, but the run-starved Rockies lost their season-high sixth straight game and fourth in a row held to one or fewer runs.Colorado loaded the bases in the second on Ryan Raburns one-out double, a single by Mark Reynolds and Nick Hundleys walk before Peavy was called for a balk to force in the games first run.But San Francisco got it right back on Poseys 10th homer. Pagan, back in his old spot batting leadoff and playing center field in place of the injured Denard Span, connected for his fourth home run in the third against Tyler Anderson (0-3).The left-hander, making his fifth career start, allowed three runs and four hits in six innings while facing the Giants for the first time. He is still looking for first major league win.Peavy was coming off just 3 1/3 innings in his last outing Wednesday at Oakland. He is 4-2 with a 2.27 ERA over his last eight outings, with the Giants going 6-2 in those.More than anything hes doing a better job of pitching, backing off a little bit, changing speeds, hitting his spots, manager Bruce Bochy said.Right-hander Sergio Romo was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list after being sidelined since April 11 with an elbow injury. He retired one batter in the seventh for his fifth appearance all year.Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 24 chances.The Rockies have lost their last three July 4 games and are 0-4 on Independence Day in San Francisco.Putting it together was the problem, manager Walt Weiss said.

A Florida man who alleges he was hit in the head and shoulder while shielding his wife from flying debris after Austin Dillons car flew into the Daytona International Speedway catch fence has filed a lawsuit against the track and NASCAR.William Fulton claims in the lawsuit, filed Monday in Florida state court in Volusia County (Fla.), that he was sitting in Row 6 when the crash happened at the finish of the July 2015 Coke Zero 400.Beyond stating in the complaint that he has not fully recovered from the injuries, Fulton did not list specific injuries in his complaint nor a specific amount being sought in damages.According to the complaint, the track, its parent company International Speedway Corp. and NASCAR, were negligent, among other things, for failing to properly remedy known dangerous conditions following continued, numerous injuries to spectators as a result of airborne race cars crashing into the catch fences and for failing to conduct a thorough engineering analysis of the catch fences and pre-race inspection of the fences. Spokesmen for NASCAR, which sanctions and operates the races, and ISC said they had no comment on the lawsuit. Fultons attorney, David Beers, declined comment.Dillon was not injured in the crash in which his car was turned and then launched into the air after being hit by another two cars. His car was rippped apart by the catch fence, and after it landed upside-down on the track, it was hit by Brad Keselowski.ddddddddddddWhen the Dillon crash occurred, the track said five fans were treated and one was hospitalized. No other lawsuits have been filed in Volusia County nor federal court over injuries from that crash, but the statute of limitations is four years.NASCAR requires tracks to assume liability for fan injuries, and tracks are required to carry $50 million in liability insurance, according to the standard sanctioning agreement as reported by Dover International Speedway in public filings.NASCAR has been looking into new ways to develop catch fences, including looking into what is being used in the Alps to prevent rock slides, NASCAR Senior Vice President Gene Stefanyshyn said in an aerodynamic and safety briefing update to reporters in June.The issues include keeping visibility for the fans while also protecting them. The steel-and-mesh fences currently designed to keep cars on the track tend to rip the car apart while keeping it from going into the stands.Weve got a project ongoing on that right now, Stefanyshyn said. Theres a lot of things to consider there. ... Theres quite a bit of work going on. ' ' '
