It’s in the title. The Giants are on a 7-game winning streak, bookended with our recording of 315 during game 1 of the streak and tonight’s recording of 316 during the 7th game of the streak. They’re just 1/2 game back of LA and if they complete the sweep of the Rockies tomorrow, the Giants will go into Chavez Ravine tied for first. This incredible streak started with six consecutive one-run wins and eight consecutive one-run games overall, both franchise records. They haven’t lost since Buster Posey shook up the roster, DFA’ing LaMonte Wade Jr. and calling in some journeymen. Although the new guys haven’t contributed much statistically speaking, something has happened to their ability to come back and hold on to tight games, get knocks in clutch situations in between droughts of hits. Some may call it a lucky streak, but it also shows the strength of the pitching staff and their resolve. Either way, wins are wins, and the Giants are hot. Let’s hope it continues. Oh, and the pope was seen today wearing a White Sox hat, so that was cool.
