Giants set season mark for hits, runs in win over Pirates

The Giants won, 15-4, and it never felt that close.

After Tuesday night, there will have been 1,063 baseball games in the 2016 Major League Baseball season. One of them had a no-hitter. One of them featured one of the unlikeliest comebacks in baseball history. One of them featured a pitcher hitting a home run against Clayton Kershaw. All sorts of unlikely things can happen in a sample of 1,063 baseball games. In this particular contest, the Giants got 22 hits, which is more than any other team has had in a game this season.

Or, to put it another way, the last time the Giants had more hits in a game, Ryan Jensen pitched a complete game in Coors Field and Tsuyoshi Shinjo was 5-for-6.
