Five straight strong starts have led to a season-high five consecutive wins for the San Francisco Giants.
With Madison Bumgarner the next in line, there's a good chance both streaks can continue Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres.
San Francisco (22-18) enters Petco Park for this three-game series on its best run of the season, mainly because its top-heavy rotation is finally getting contributions from the bottom. After Jake Peavy tossed six innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 5-3 win at Arizona, Matt Cain yielded a run over seven to help the Giants complete a four-game sweep with Sunday's 2-1 victory.
