The San Francisco Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies once again tonight, 9-1. They scored nine runs two days in a row. They even won two days in a row, which is not always a given with them even when they have a high scoring game. It was all around fun, without the back and forth theatrics of Friday night.
And it was exactly what they needed to do.
In the days leading up to this series, there were dozens of articles from everyone on the beat, discussing exactly what was going wrong with the Giants and what they needed to do in order to turn things around and have a snowball’s chance in Hell at a wild card spot.
