It's a wash right now. Getting outscored by 5 in a week. That tanks the score. Compounding things, a 10-man IL is starting to matter.

Giants News

The San Francisco Giants finally found their groove with a 10-5 victory over the Nationals, but the celebration is muted by an 8-12 record that has fans feeling lukewarm. Daniel Susac shone as a beacon of hope in the win, going 2-for-5 and pushing his average to a ridiculous .524 in his short career, proving he’s not just a flash in the pan. However, manager Tony Vitello’s closer-by-committee strategy is faltering and can’t be the long-term solution for a bullpen that’s already stretched thin. With 10 players on the injured list, the Giants must find a way to string together wins, as a series sweep against Washington would offer a much-needed morale boost. Let’s hope this offensive explosion isn’t a one-off.
