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. I thought our approach was better, we swung the bats better, but not well enough to put together a big inning.RIGHETTIS GEMMonday marked the 33rd anniversary of Giants pitching coach Dave Righettis 1983 no-hitter, a 4-0 July 4 gem against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.TRAINERS ROOMUmpires: Home plate umpire Gerry Davis -- with a history of concussions -- was hit three times, twice in the mask and then in the right arm in the fifth with Peavy on the mound.

The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic is looking for his team to build on the momentum from a draw in Perth to take on Melbourne Victory in a game they always look forward to.The sixth-placed Wanderers have one win this A-League season and three successive draws since after Sundays 2-2 draw against Glory.As much as he knows the challenge the Victory present on Saturday night at Etihad Stadium, he dearly wants to earn the three points.Weve had fantastic matches against Melbourne Victory, they are a very good side and fantastic club, but they are the games you look forward to, he said.Popovic left Perth reasonably happy with the point especially after going down a goal in the second half before Brendon Santalab snatched the equaliser in the 67th minute.All in all, against a very good team who is dangerous in attack we held firm to get a point away from hhome.ddddddddddddIt capped another strong performance by Santalab who continued to make a strong case to remain a starter with an impressive game in Perth.What Santy is doing is not a surprise to us and whether he is on the bench or whether he starts, its always for the good of the team and what we believe is the best decision for that game. Were not surprised with how well hes doing, Popovic said.The Wanderers coach was full of praise for under-fire goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, who made a terrific late save off a Chris Harold shot.He was very good and made a crucial save at the end. You expect your keeper to do that, we do anyway, he said.Its the only save he made and if he can average one save a game Ill be very happy.
