DENVER — Two weeks ago, the Giants had no business looking at the National League Wild Card standings.
With two weeks until the trade deadline, the Giants’ front office now has every reason to evaluate where the team stands in a playoff race that’s beginning to take shape.
After winning 11 of their last 13 games, the Giants have hopped over four teams in the Wild Card race, gained four games in the standings and suddenly emerged as one of the most complete teams in the NL.
What will it take for the Giants to keep this hot streak going and become a legitimate playoff contender over the next two months?
