The San Francisco Giants accomplished the most glorious of regular season feats on Thursday, sweeping a four-game road series. It doesn’t get much better, unless the Los Angeles Dodgers are on the receiving end.
It was also over in the third inning, when the Giants flexed their muscles in ways that you had not envisioned that they would.
It was a fun inning, in large part because the Giants scored seven runs before the Cincinnati Reds recorded a single out. It was also a fun inning because it had all the makings of a dink and dunk inning, until it didn’t.
