Giants, 3-2, 16 innings. MadBum and Syndergaard pitcher's duel. MadBum 94 pitches in nine innings. Giants use seven pitchers. Pete Alonso homers top of 16th (Oh No!), consecutive doubles by Dickerson and Crawford, then load the bases (Slater HBP on first pitch to kick it off!), Solano singles home winning run with no outs.
Sixth straight win, 13 of 15, one game under .500, still 2.5 back in wild card, one back of Arizona, firmly in third place in the NL West. Giants are 25-15 since June 1st. If they maintain that pace, they'll finish 88-74. Their low water mark was 34-46, they've gone 14-3 since. If they maintain that pace, they'll win over 100.
And why not? On July 10, 2016, the Giants were 24 games over .500, the best team in baseball. The rest of the year, they were the worst team in baseball. Why can't it happen in reverse?
Today, we have Beede vs. last year's Cy Young winner DeGrom. DeGrom has been pitching GREAT last 10 starts (2.57 ERA). Hope Slater gets to play.
