SF 8 MIL 3
The Giants fought impressively all afternoon and finally exploded with a six-run outburst in the 7th to bury the Brewers.Tyler Beede not only had a fine start (6-2/3 IP, 3 R, 7 K) but he successfully pulled off a butcher-boy play in that same 7th inning to drive in the first run. Derek Holland and Mark Melancon did the rest and the Giants had a series win on the road against a tough opponent. It was nice to see the Brandons look good at the plate: Craw had a hit, two walks, and two runs scored; Belt had two hits (including a homer), a walk, and two runs scored. Evan Longoria, who has been the hot hand lately, left the game with a foot injury, otherwise it was all positives today in Milwaukee.
The Giants play a makeup game in Colorado tomorrow at 11:10 a.m., Jeff Samardzija gets the start. Then Derek Rodriguez gets the ball for the regularly-scheduled 5:40 p.m. game.
GO GIANTS!

The NL West is turning into an interesting race. Not for the division lead, of course, but for second. The Giants are 2 games behind San Diego for 4th and only 3 behind the snakes for 2nd. A good week could flip some positions.
They have been playing better baseball and I hope they continue to play better baseball. My goal is .500, and at 43-49 and they'll need another hot stretch to "get over the line." It has been entertaining, that's for sure, and we fans have been needing more of that!
As I am writing this, our guys are leading 13-0 in Colorado. How did this happen? I don't know but I am not complaining. After the non-stop talking about when (not if) Madbum would be traded, now the pundits are starting to suggest maybe he shouldn't be traded after all. Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks can make!
