SF 8 COL 4 (10)
The Giants continue to play utterly relentless baseball. They took a 2-0 lead in the 1st and stretched it to a 4-1 lead in the 9th. Then Mr. Automatic, Will Smith, gave up two homers in the bottom of the 9th and the Rockies tied the game and sent it to extras. Oh, no problem. The Giants ripped out another four runs and took an 8-4 lead into the bottom of the 10th. Mark Melancon then finished it off.
It's a wild, wild life.
Mike Yastrzemski and Alex Dickerson went 7-for-10 with four runs scored and five runs batted in. Kevin Pillar continues to make superb plays in the field to rob hits and save runs. I don't care if his OBP is under .300, man. That's 11 wins in the last 13 games.
Shaun Anderson goes tomorrow at 12:10 Pacific.
GO GIANTS!

imagine how good Pillar would be if he developed some plate discipline.
We are not in last place. That is the first step. This is getting very, very interesting.
Padres were a .500 team until going 3-8 so far in July. Things can change fast. Giants are in SD for three games at the end of the month.
