The San Francisco Giants lost the series with Dusty Baker‘s Red, but did manage to pull off a come from behind win in the 9th inning to avoid the sweep. This is the first series the Giants have lost since the opening series sweep in Arizona.   Hitting Streaks Angel Pagan kept his hitting streak going (now at 11 games), and his big hit was a 3-run homer to give the Giants a 6-5 lead in the top of the 9th. The man with the big hit streak is Pablo Sandoval. This guy can just flat out rake. He’s in the midst of a 19 game hitting streak, and looks to extend it to 20 tonight at AT&T Park against the Padres. Hitless Streak Remember how hot Nate Schierholtz was in the double header in New York? He had six hits that day, and looked like he was hitting beach balls. Well, a lot has changed since then. Schierholtz was hitless in Cincinnati which means he’s 0-for-13 since that double header in New York. Home Sweet Home The Giants start a 9-game homestand tonight against the Padres, Marlins a...

On some day late in Spring or early in the regular season (sooooo lazy), Julian (@GiantsNirvana) tweeted something that looked like this: “On a scale of 1-10, the amount I’m worried about Angel Pagan: 0” Julian’s faith restored my own, reminding me that Angel Pagan has started slowly before and would be just fine as the Giants’ starting center fielder. Fine, indeed. Pagan’s...
