When Five Wins Isn't Enough | Diamondbacks 3, Giants 2

The Giants needed a repeat of Tuesday on Wednesday.

Again, the Giants were down a run in the ninth inning.

Again, they got a weird break. Tommy LaStella struck out but reached first on a wild pitch.

Again, Thairo Estrada represented the Giants' last hope.

This time, though. there was no pixie dust floating in the summer air. Estrada popped out. That's OK.

Miraculous wins aren't supposed to be a regular occurrence. The Giants, though, have put themselves in a position where they need them to be.

Their five-game winning streak is over, and they need another. And then another.
