It may surprise many SF Giants fans, but the bullpen has been quietly on the rise as they have the sixth-lowest ERA (3.36) in baseball. There have been a couple of notable blowups such as on Opening Day when the bullpen squandered a six-run advantage to Seattle or when they lost a four-run lead against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in May.
