The Giants win a game! The Giants win a game!
Look, the Giants had lost every game since I wrote this in the recap of their last win, so I’m going to go ahead and take full blame:
If they’re going to flounder in the middle, I’ll take rookie surprises over soul-sucking losses on a death march to the draft any day. But to each their own.
Apparently I tempted fate in the eyes of the baseball gods, who decided to smite all of us for my hubris.
Anyway, two weeks to the day of the Giants’ last win, they finally won another game and snapped their 11-game losing streak. They did so on the back of Chris Stratton, who pitched his finest game of the year exactly when the Giants needed it the most.
