Gordon’s inside-the-park homer dooms Giants

[...] they are a team of rabbits who can sprint and play in a ballpark with a right-center gap that seems to stretch to Key West.

[...] they lost when Dee Gordon streaked around the bases with a three-run inside-the-park home run off Ryan Vogelsong.

Buster Posey’s homer off Mat Latos — sound familiar? — went for naught in the Giants’ 5-3 loss.

[...] a lot of bad stuff happened to the defending champs in the month that rhymes with “swoon.”

Hunter Pence played in two June games before he returned to the disabled list with tendinits in his wrist.

Manager Bruce Bochy officially announced Matt Cain’s return Thursday against the Marlins and Jake Peavy’s on Friday night in Washington.

Vogelsong had an up-and-down month and did not pitch that poorly in the series opener at Marlins Park, but he hung two changeups for Gordon’s inside-the-park homer in the second inning and Justin Bour’s traditional blast in the third.

The Giants led 1-0 when Gordon blasted a two-out drive to the gap in right-center.

[...] did Matt Duffy, who went 0-for-4 Tuesday but for the month hit .313 with 14 extra-base hits, including five homers.
