Asking for trouble

Giants 4, Rockies 1 // Giants 5, Rockies 0

I feel like Bart Simpson at the chalkboard, punishing myself after watching the Giants win three in a row.

This is what this team does. This is what any .500 team does. They're alive at their own funeral. The moment you put them in a casket, they pop their heads up.

Blake Snell, Robbie Ray, Kyle Harrison, and Hayden Birdsong have a 1.36 ERA since the break. When Logan Webb is the weak link, you’re going to be OK.

And yet, the offense breaks with a runner at third base. Tyler Fitzgerald is the best hitter in the lineup. The longest winning streak of the year is only four games.

They can match it today. I'll have my chalk ready.

Know your numbers: Blake Snell became the first Giants starter to strike out 15 since Tim Lincecum did it 15 years ago to the day.

Up next: The Giants go for the sweep at 1 p.m. It’ll be Jordan Hicks (4-7, 4.01 ERA), likely making his last start of the year, against Austin Gomber (2-6, 4.70 ERA).
