Pretty good day today. 8-2 win, Stanford's Tristan Beck pitched two innings, no runs allowed. Drew Gilbert, just 24 and arrived from the New York Mets had four hits today and three yesterday, he's batting .261 with six extra base hits in 12 hits overall. Gilbert was a first round selection in the 2022 draft, was traded from the Astros to the Mets (with others) for Verlander. We got him with Butto and Tidwell for Tyler Rogers, and he went 7 for 14 in Sacto. He homered, as did Adames and Gilbert. 

They're still not a great home run hitting team...even after the recent power surge, they're #20 in MLB in both HRs and runs scored. At least they're fifth in triples. And -- odd stat -- they have been caught stealing the third fewest times in MLB (19). Not so odd stat, they've stolen the second fewest bases in MLB (63).

Giants have now homered in 15 straight games, second all-time. If they homer again tomorrow, they tie their all-time record, set in 1962 and equaled in 1963. They have two more games at Coors Field, and they're running hot and healthy now, so...who knows?

They're back at .500 (69-69) and have 24 games left. They're five back of the Mets, currently in the third wild card slot. Could be...
