Happy Tuesday, San Francisco Giants fans.
Monday’s game sure was fun, wasn’t it? In a 12-3 win over the Chicago White Sox, the Giants hit a whopping seven home runs, which was enough to take an offense that had previously been shut out in 67% of its games (and that had fewer extra-base hits than Adam Duvall) and put them atop MLB’s big fly leaderboard.
Baseball!
If seven home runs seems like a lot, that’s because it is. A cursory search on Stathead informs me that, in the San Francisco era, this is just the third time the Giants have hit seven homers in a game.
