SAN FRANCISCO -- The dependable bullpen that has been such a key part of San Franciscos even-year championship success this decade is showing its flaws.And manager Bruce Bochy plans to address it soon in a meeting with his coaches to make sure things are all lined up for a strong second half and what the Giants hope is another special playoff run.All-Star Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning to give Colorado the big hit it has missed for much of the past week, and the Rockies beat San Francisco 7-3 on Tuesday night to end a season-high six-game losing streak.Were going to meet and see if we can get this thing right, Bochy said. Were trying to get this thing sorted out. At times theyre really good. Its a matter of somebody stepping up and taking over a role.Colorado catcher Nick Hundley and San Franciscos Angel Pagan exchanged words in the seventh during Pagans at-bat, and Hundley said something as Pagan turned to return to the dugout after a swinging strikeout. Pagan then gestured back toward the catcher before plate umpire Carlos Torres and Hundley had a heated chat. Rockies manager Walt Weiss rushed out, then the umpires gathered in the infield and both benches were warned but no ejections made.It was just some good clean fun, Weiss said.Hundley was booed loudly when he batted in the eighth, then he delivered an RBI single.Its such a cyclical game, Hundley said. Ive been bad at the plate the last week. It was big to get a couple hits in big innings.Colorado capitalized against San Franciscos shaky bullpen once ace Madison Bumgarner left, scoring more than one run for the first time in its last five games.Bumgarner, named to his fourth straight All-Star Game a few hours earlier, struck out six over six scoreless innings, allowed four hits and walked two.Jordan Lyles (2-2) pitched the sixth for the win.After George Kontos allowed a pair of singles to start the seventh, DJ LeMahieu hit an RBI infield single in the seventh against loser Cory Gearrin (3-1). Arenado followed with his 23rd home run.Colorado had failed of late to give its pitchers enough run support. Arenados big swing did it this time, then the Rockies added on late. Since the start of last season, Arenado has 14 homers and 45 RBI in 31 games against the Giants.LeMahieu drew a bases-loaded walk from Hunter Strickland in the eighth and Charlie Blackmon added a run-scoring single.Consistencys been missing a little bit from what weve seen, lefty reliever Javier Lopez said. Obviously when we click, weve shown that we click really well. Were running through a little rough patch right now, and its the big homer thats been getting us as of late, but youve got to try to focus on the good things. Were having a good first half. You dont want these little things to manifest. Well nip it in the bud.Bumgarner -- 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last six starts against Colorado -- threw 96 pitches, ending his majors-leading streak of 13 straight outings with at least 100 pitches.Brandon Belt hit an RBI single in the first, trying to make a case to be the last NL All-Star chosen in a final vote by fans, then added another base hit in the third.The Giants scored their second run on a passed ball in the fifth, with Pagan coming home after a leadoff triple.With the bases loaded in the third, Giants right fielder Mac Williamson robbed Rockies rookie Trevor Story -- another All-Star final ballot candidate -- of a likely bases-clearing hit for the clutch final out of the inning.Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood came off the disabled list from a strained middle back that sidelined him June 19. He allowed three hits, two runs, one earned, struck out four and walked four in five innings.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Colorado activated RHP Adam Ottavino from the 60-day disabled list, and he made his season debut in the eighth. It marked his first time on the active roster since having Tommy John surgery on May 6, 2015. ... RHP Justin Miller went on the 15-day DL retroactive to Sunday with a strained left oblique.Giants: CF Denard Span, who had trigger-point injections Monday in his stiff neck and missed his fifth straight game Tuesday, hit off the tee and is scheduled for baseball activities Wednesday with the hope he will start Friday against Arizona following an off day. ... 3B Matt Duffy hit on the field for the first time since going on the DL on June 20 with a strained left Achilles tendon. ... OF Gregor Blanco was a late lineup scratch with left knee soreness.UP NEXTRockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (5-5, 5.98 ERA) is 1/3 with an 8.22 ERA in five road starts but beat the Giants in one of his two previous 2016 meetings and is coming off a 4-0 June.Giants: All-Star RHP Johnny Cueto (12-1, 2.57) tries to win his 10th straight decision, and the Giants are 15-2 in his starts. He is 1-0 with a 0.63 ERA in two starts against the Rockies.

NEW YORK -- Five minutes before Stan Wawrinka walked out onto Arthur Ashe stadium to meet top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Sunday in the US Open mens final, the Swiss star nearly had a breakdown.I was shaking in the locker [room], Wawrinka reported, adding that as he reviewed last-minute details with his coach, Magnus Norman. I start to cry. I was completely shaking.It wasnt fear Wawrinka felt, nor was it pressure, as we commonly know it. It was more like a physical reaction to his hunger and determination not to let this Grand Slam opportunity slip away. And in that sense, it was a good thing. A very good thing.[It happened] because I dont want to lose the final in a Grand Slam, that simple, Wawrinka said. Thats the only reason. This morning, it started to be there, the feeling of, You dont want to lose. So close, so far. So maybe its the reason why I was feeling so nervous.Fueled by resolve, Wawrinka went out and traded warp-speed forehands and backhands with Djokovic for 3 hours, 55 minutes, often under nerve-wracking conditions at deuce and break point. Against most players, that set of circumstances almost always results with an exultant Djokovic.Not on Sunday evening in Queens. For the second time in a major final, Wawrinka demonstrated he had superior firepower and more durable nerves than Djokovic, as he stripped Djokovic of his title 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3.The beaten finalist said it accurately when he paid public tribute to the 31-year-old Swiss No. 3 seed immediately after the match with a marvelous, concise summary: Congrats to Stan. He was more courageous in the decisive moments.The words were anything but symbolic. After the match, Djokovic rued his terrible success rate on those critical break points. He converted just 3-of-17, while Wawrinka capitalized on 6-of-10. As Djokovic added, In matches like this, if you dont use the opportunities, the other guy comes and takes it. He stepped in and played aggressive, where I was kind of more waiting for things to happen. And thats it.Never has Stan been more The Man than on Sunday afternoon. His tournament had been a brutal march through long matches in stifling heat and perilous pairings. He played five completed matches. (Wawrinka survived a match-point in his third-round clash with?Daniel Evans.) Djokovic, by contrast, had played just three completed?matches.Today, I was trying to stay with him, Wawrinka admitted of playing Djokovic. I was trying to be tough with myself. Trying not to show anything. Not to show any pain. Not to show any cramp. Not to show anything. I was suffering on the court, but Im happy and proud with what I have achieved today.Wawrinka is known as the Stanimal, a nickname bestowed on him in honor of his muscular build and the sheer weight of his shot. When his groundstrokes hit the court, you can feel it in your molars. His serve is a heavy cannon, and while his movement isnt always smooth, hes deceptively quick.Wawrinka, now 31, is routinely underestimated because he lacks the day-inn, day-out capacity to dazzle in the manner of Swiss fellow countryman Roger Federer or Djokovic.dddddddddddd Strength -- rather than artistry, athleticism or fiery temperament -- is Wawrinkas strong suit.Thats not only rare in a world-class player, it also doesnt always have immediate eye appeal. Wawrinka is moody, and when hes not feeling inspired, his game pops rivets and screws, and it bursts apart.These shortcomings all shed light on why Wawrinka is sometimes different from the elite cadre known as the Big Four. But even before Wawrinka won, Djokovic described him as a big-match player.And small wonder: Going into this final, Wawrinka was 10-0 in his most recent finals, which includes his stunning upset of Djokovic in the 2015 French Open final, as well as his triumph against Rafael Nadal in his first major final at the Australian Open.Wawrinka now has as many Grand Slam titles as Andy Murray?at three. Wawrinka also accomplished something Federer never has: He has beaten Djokovic in two Grand Slam finals and did so in the period of Djokovics most fluent mastery.Wawrinka said hes thrilled with his career but knows he hasnt won enough important titles or been to nearly as many major semifinals and finals. As for any aspirations to the No. 1 ranking, he sounded a similar theme.My best ranking was No. 3 in the world, Wawrinka said. Its simple. Im way too far to even think about being No. 1. Im winning four tournaments a year. Im really happy with that. Four tournaments, one Grand Slam. Its amazing. Its huge. Its big. But Im way too far to be No. 1.Still, Wawrinkas win could be a game-changer in mens tennis. He is nothing less than overpowering. We now know that his ability to produce his best tennis on a critical occasion isnt sheer luck but a previously unmined aspect of his psyche.As Djokovic said, He just steps in. He loves to play in the big matches. He comes up with his best game.Federer will be back in yoke and fresh for 2017, but hell be 35 years old and coming out of extensive rehabilitation on a damaged knee. It looks more and more like Nadal has lost some vital component of his competitors makeup, perhaps permanently.Murray had a terrific 2016, but he has never been as consistent as the other three members of the Big Four. Djokovic won two majors this year and completed a career Grand Slam. But that aura of invulnerability was tarnished over the course of the summer, and now Wawrinka put a significant dent in it.Wawrinka keeps insisting he doesnt belong among the elite Big Four, but Djokovic understands that all bets are off on that one.He deserves to be in the mix, no doubt about it, the world No. 1 said. Stan won three Grand Slams now, three different ones, and Olympic medal. [Hes] been around for so many years, and he plays best in the big matches. I mean, he definitely deserves to be mentioned in the mix of top players.
